Dysodiopsis tagetoides, commonly known as false dogfennel, ^[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. ^[1] It is native to the United States, where it is restricted to Oklahoma and Texas. ^[4] It is found in areas of calcareous soil. ^[5]

Dysodiopsis is a monotypic genus, and therefore contains no other species.
