Gnaphalium palustre is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name western marsh cudweed. It is native to much of western North America, where it is common in many habitats. This is an annual herb growing erect stems which may be short or up to about 30 centimeters tall. The stems and foliage are nearly white due to their coating of woolly hairs. The leaves are small and lance-shaped to scoop-shaped. The inflorescence holds a cluster of flower heads in a nest of woolly fibers. Each head has brownish to pale yellowish phyllaries surrounding a center of many tiny flowers.
