Doellingeria sericocarpoides (known by the common names southern tall flat-topped or southern whitetop aster) is a North American perennial forb native to the eastern United States. It ranges from eastern Texas and southeastern Oklahoma to northern Florida north as far as New York State, though uncommon in the northern part of that range.[2]
