Senega nana, commonly known as candyroot or low bachelors' buttons, is a small species of herbaceous plant native to the south-eastern United States.

The root has a sweet liquorice flavor when it is chewed, but it is usually hidden underground until the plant flowers.

[4] It also resembles the rare species P. smallii of Miami-Dade County, which has seeds longer than 1 mm.

[6] Senega nana is found across the south-eastern United States from far eastern Texas through Louisiana and Arkansas to Florida and north as far as the Carolinas.

[7] Arkansas, where it is found in Ashley, Bradley and Calhoun Counties, marks the northwestern limits of its range.
