Brachyglottis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus was erected on November 29, 1775, ^{[2] [3]} by Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster. The name was derived from the Greek brachus ("short") ^[4] and glottis ("the vocal apparatus of the larynx" ^[5] ) a reference to the size of the ray florets. ^[6]

The genus is almost entirely native to New Zealand, except for B. brunonis, which occurs in Tasmania. ^[7]

In cultivation in the UK, the cultivar 'Sunshine' has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. ^[8]

Etymology

Brachyglottis comes from the two greek words: Brachus, meaning short, and glottis which is the vocal apparatus of the larynx. ^[9]
