Arctanthemum integrifolium is an Arctic species of plants in the sunflower family. It grows in Alaska, northern Canada, Peary Land in northern Greenland, and the East Chukotka region in eastern Russia.[2][3][4]

Arctanthemum integrifolium is a perennial herb rarely more than 12 cm (4.8 inches) tall, with a woody underground caudex and a basal rosette of leaves. Each plant usually produces only one flower head, containing 11–19 white ray flowers surrounding 60–80 yellow disc flowers.[5]
