Chrysoma is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family. [3] [4] [5] [1]

Flowering plant clade of flowering plants (in APG I-III)

The flowering plants, also known as angiosperms, Angiospermae or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants, with 64 orders, 416 families, approximately 13,164 known genera and c. 369,000 known species. Like gymnosperms, angiosperms are seed-producing plants. However, they are distinguished from gymnosperms by characteristics including flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. Etymologically, angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure; in other words, a fruiting plant. The term comes from the Greek words angeion and sperma ("seed").

Asteraceae Family of plants

Asteraceae or Compositae is a very large and widespread family of flowering plants (Angiospermae).

Species

More than 20 species names have been created in the genus, most of them now transferred to other genera (Ericameria, Xylothamia, Solidago, Gundlachia). Only one remains, Chrysoma pauciflosculosa, native to the southeastern United States (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina). [6] Chrysoma pauciflosculosa is a branching, evergreen shrub up to 100 cm (39 in) tall, with resin but no hairs. Flower heads are yellow, in dense, flat-topped arrays of many small heads, sometimes with no ray florets but sometimes with 2 or 3 ray florets, plus 2-5 disc florets. [7]

<i>Ericameria</i> genus of plants

Ericameria is a genus of North American shrubs in the daisy family.

Xylothamia, the desert goldenrods, is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. Until 2003, it was held to contain nine species of shrubs native to deserts of Mexico and the southwestern United States. However, it seems to contain at least two groups. Four species are related to Gundlachia and may be moved to that genus. The relationships of the other five species is not quite as clear. All nine species do belong in the subtribe Solidagininae.

Gundlachia, commonly called Goldenshrub, is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family.
