Helenium campestre is a North American perennial plant in the Sunflower Family, commonly known as Oldfield sneezeweed.[1] It is native to the southeastern United States, in Arkansas and northwestern Louisiana.[2]

The head is spherical or egg-shaped, with sometimes as many as 700 disc florets, each floret yellow near the base but purple or brown towards the tip. There are also 9-15 yellow ray florets. The species grows in ditches, fields, and streambanks.[1]
