Boltonia montana, the mountain doll's daisy,^[1] is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in the east-central part of the United States, in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.^[2]

Boltonia montana is a perennial herb up to 150 cm (60 inches) tall. It has many daisy-like flower heads with pink or lavender ray florets and yellow disc florets.^[3]

Boltonia montana is critically imperiled in New Jersey and Virginia, and is possibly extirpated in Pennsylvania. In 2010, there were only 11 occurrences. The long term trend is a decline of 30-50%. It is not a U.S. Endangered Species.^[4]
