|discussion=<p>G. L. Stebbins (1936) and R. J. Bayer and Stebbins (1982) maintained that <i>Antennaria virginica</i> is a distinct species. After previously recognizing the taxon as a variety of <i>A. neglecta</i>, A. Cronquist (1945; H. A. Gleason and Cronquist 1991) agreed. It is a sexual progenitor of the <i>A. howellii</i> complex and is most closely related to <i>A. howellii </i>subsp.<i> neodioica</i> (Bayer 1985). <i>Antennaria virginica</i> is dioecious and is characterized by its relatively small, spatulate, basal leaves and subulate-tipped cauline leaves, which separate it from <i>A. neglecta</i> and the gynoecious <i>A. howellii</i> complex (Stebbins 1935; Bayer and Stebbins).</p>
