Silphium asteriscus, commonly called starry rosinweed,[2] is an herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae.

It is native to the eastern United States, from Oklahoma and Texas east to Florida and Pennsylvania.

[3] It is a widespread species found in a variety of open habitats, such as prairies and woodlands.

[5] It appears to show a high level of local variability throughout its range, which has been interpreted as either a species complex, a single highly variable species, or some combination of both.

Due to conflicting information about the best circumscription of the varieties, the taxonomy of this species remains unsettled.
