Sasha, depending on where your plant is located, it's probably B. asteroides. I've been reading abouit B. decurrens and it appears that one is a rare and threatened species found only in a limited area: http://www.illinoiswildflowers...

MOBOT states that it is a threatened species only known to occur along the Illinois River in west central Illinois and along the Mississippi River in both Illinois and Missouri just north of St. Louis: http://www.missouribotanicalga...

Wikipedia states that the plant's distribution has been fragmented into about 20 separate populations, mostly in Illinois: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
