Appalachian milkwort is a native wildflower in the milkwort family (Polygalaceae). It is widespread in the Southeast. The species epithet honors Allen Hiram Curtiss, a 19th-century American botanist who explored Florida and brought many species to the attention of science for the first time. Appalachian milkwort is typically found in open areas, sandy meadows, old fields, and moist woodland borders. It is rarely cultivated.
