Bradburia pilosa, the soft goldenaster,[2] is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the south-central United States, primarily the southeastern Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, in the states of Texas , Oklahoma, Kansas , Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee , Mississippi, and Alabama. Additional populations are reported farther east (from Florida to Virginia) but these appear to be introductions.[3][4][5] Its habitats include disturbed roadsides and pine-oak-juniper woods.[6]

Bradburia pilosa is an annual up to 80 cm (32 inches) tall with yellow flower heads. Disc florets are fertile, unlike in the closely related B. hirtella.[6]
