Asclepia Meadii, commonly known as Mead's milkweed, is a rare species of perennial herb that is native to North America. Its leaves are long and narrow and its flowers range in color from pale pink to dark rose. Synonyms for Asclepia Meadii include Asclepias meadii, Mead's milkweed, and Mead's butterfly weed. It is an important plant for pollinators, particularly monarch butterflies, as it is a host plant for their larvae. Unfortunately, habitat destruction and fragmentation have led to a decline in the population of Asclepia Meadii, making it a threatened species. Conservation efforts are currently underway to protect and restore this important plant.
