(Accepted name Centaurium muehlenbergii)

Also known as Serpentine Centaury and Muhlenberg's centaury, this is a native wildflower found in the United States in California, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington on fields, valley floors, riverbeds, floodplains, moist areas by streams, grasslands, open grassy slopes, rocky areas and exposed roadcuts. It blooms from May to August and has white or pink to light magenta blooms. I was unable to locate any more information about this plant as of now.
