Taxonomic CommentsAntennaria parlinii is one of five polyploid agamic complexes which have evolved via multiple hybridization among members of the Catipes group of species in the genus Antennaria. The A. parlinii complex of polyploid sexual and apomictic populations is the result of multiple hybridizations among sexual diploid species including A. plantaginifolia, A. racemosa, and A. solitaria. 2n = 56, 84, 70, 112.

Rank ReasonsParlin's Pussytoes (Antennaria parlinii) occurs in eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to southeastern Manitoba in Canada, south to Mississippi, Louisiana, and central Texas in the United States. There are more than 600 occurrences. Threat impacts likely are low, and include fragmentation and loss of habitat due to residential development and urbanization, and competition from invasive exotic plants.
Range Extent CommentsParlin's Pussytoes (Antennaria parlinii) occurs in eastern North America, from Nova Scotia to southeastern Manitoba in Canada, south to Mississippi, Louisiana, and central Texas in the United States. Range extent was estimated to be 3.6 million square kilometers, using herbarium specimens and photo-based observations documented between 1992 and 2023 (FNA 2006, GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023, Weakley and Southeastern Flora Team 2023).
Occurrences CommentsAntennaria parlinii is considered common throughout much of its range, by applying a 1 km separation distance to herbarium records and photo-based observations of Antennaria parlinii documented between 1992 and 2023, it is estimated that there more than 600 occurrences rangewide (FNA 2006, GBIF 2023, iNaturalist 2023, Weakley and the Southeastern Flora Team 2023).
Threat Impact CommentsThreat impacts likely are low, and include fragmentation and loss of habitat due to residential development and urbanization, and competition from invasive exotic plants.
