# Rolfs’s Milkweed

*Asclepias tuberosa subsp. rolfsii* (Britton ex Vail) Woodson

The Florida sandhill plant, confined to deep sand on the central ridges of peninsular Florida and southern Georgia. Flora of North America gives its flowering season as year-round, which only a handful of United States milkweeds manage.

## How to tell it apart

Small narrow leaves with wavy, crisped margins and arrowhead-shaped bases. The whole plant is shorter, 15 to 70 cm, and it grows in deep dry sand.

## Where it grows

Reported in error from Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and Virginia. Plants on sandy sites in southern South Carolina sit between this and the other two subspecies and may belong here.

States: FL, GA

## Other names

Asclepias rolfsii
