Tetraneuris, commonly known as four-nerve daisy [2] or bitterweed, is a genus of North American plants in the sneezeweed tribe within the daisy family. [3] [4]

The genus includes one annual species, Tetraneuris linearifolia , with all the other species being perennials.

The name is of Greek origin, deriving from tetra, meaning "four", and neuron, meaning "nerve", which refers to the venation of the rays: three-lobed with the outer lobes themselves having an apparent vein down the middle.
