Liatris laevigata, the clusterleaf blazing star, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the U.S. states of Georgia and Florida.[1] It usually is found growing in sandy areas in association with sclerophyllous oaks.[2]
It may occasionally be grouped in Liatris tenuifolia as L. tenuifolia var. quadriflora, where it is differentiated by its larger basal leaves.[3]
