Diaperia candida, common names silver pygmycudweed[2] and silver rabbit-tobacco, is a plant species in the sunflower family, native to the south-central part of the United States : Texas , western Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas, southeastern Oklahoma.[3]

Diaperia candida is an annual herb with leaves that appear silvery because of woolly hairs pressed against the surface. One plant generally has several small flower heads.[4][5] Flowers bloom March to June. Its habitats include oak and pine woodlands, prairies, and coastal areas.[4]
