Asclepias viridis is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family known by the common names green antelopehorn and spider milkweed. It is native to the southcentral and southeastern United States.[1]
This milkweed is a perennial herb with alternately arranged leaves. The inflorescence is an umbel of white flowers with purplish centers.[2]
This species grows on many types of soil. It is common in overgrazed pasture land and roadsides.[2]
This, like some other milkweed species, is a host plant for the monarch butterfly.[3]
