Antennaria alpina (alpine pussytoes[2] or alpine catsfoot or alpine everlasting[3]) is a European and North American species of plant in the sunflower family. Antennaria alpina is native to mountainous and subarctic regions of Scandinavia, Greenland, Alaska, and the Canadian Arctic, extending south at high altitudes in mountains in the Rocky Mountains south to Montana and Wyoming.[4][5][6][7]

Antennaria alpina is a perennial, herbaceous plant growing to 15 cm tall, with off-white to pinkish flowerheads 4–8 mm in diameter, produced in clusters of three to five together.[4]
