Arnoglossum atriplicifolium (pale Indian plantain) is a perennial North American wildflower in the sunflower family.[2] It is widely distributed through the central and eastern states of the United States from the Atlantic Coast westward as far as Kansas,[3] but it is listed as endangered in the state of New Jersey.

Arnoglossum atriplicifolium is a large perennial up to 300 cm (120 inches or 10 feet) tall, spreading by means of underground rhizomes. Stems are usually unbranched. Flower heads are white, sometimes with a bit of green or purple, with disc florets but no ray florets.[2]
