Pityopsis microcephala is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. This species inhabits the both the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain from Southeastern North Carolina to the Eastern bank of the Mississippi River in Louisiana. They typically inhabit drier open habitats such as Pine Savannas, Sandhills, and dry woodlands, but they can also be found in Flatwoods (which are generally wetter and have a longer hydroperiod).
