Asclepias viridis is a species of milkweed, a plant in the dogbane family known by the common names green milkweed, green antelope horns and spider milkweed.[1][2] The specific epithet A. viridis means green. It is native to the southcentral and southeastern United States.[3]
This milkweed is a perennial herb with alternately arranged leaves. The inflorescence is an umbel of white flowers with purplish centers.[1] Its root system is a taproot,[4] like that of butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa).
This species grows on many types of soil. It is common in overgrazed pasture land and roadsides.[1]
This, like some other milkweed species, is a host plant for the monarch butterfly.[5]
