Trichocoronis is a genus of North American aquatic plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae. [2] [4] Bugheal is a common name for plants in this genus. [5]
Trichocoronis is thought to be related to two other aquatic genera in the same tribe: Sclerolepis and Shinnersia . [6] They are annuals or perennials. [7]
Eupatorieae is a tribe of over 2000 species of plants in the family Asteraceae. Most of the species are native to tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate areas of the Americas, but some are found elsewhere. Well-known members are Stevia rebaudiana, a number of medicinal plants (Eupatorium), and a variety of late summer to autumn blooming garden flowers, including Ageratum (flossflower), Conoclinium (mistflower), and Liatris.
Flyriella is a genus of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, and the species are commonly called brickellbush. They are native to Texas and Mexico.
Ageratina herbacea is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae known by the common names fragrant snakeroot and Apache snakeroot. It is native to desert regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It grows in rocky slopes in conifer forests and woodlands.
Carphochaete is a genus of North American flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. They are known commonly as bristleheads.
Isocarpha (pearlhead) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. They are native to Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and northern South America, with the range of one species extending north into the United States.
Pleurocoronis is a genus of North American shrubs or subshrubs native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae. All known members had been considered members of the related genus Hofmeisteria before being moved to Pleurocoronis.
Sclerolepis is an aquatic plant native to the eastern United States. It has only one known species, Sclerolepis uniflora, the pink bogbutton. It lives in ponds and other wet areas. When water is abundant, the plant lives underwater, with long stems and flaccid, elongated leaves, and does not flower. When the water level drops, it assumes a form more familiar in terrestrial plants, with an erect stem, and flowers in summer to fall. The flowers are pink.
Shinnersia rivularis, known as the Rio Grande bugheal or Mexican oak leaf plant, is an aquatic plant native to Texas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León.
Tamaulipa is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.
Asanthus is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, found only in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Brickelliastrum is a North American genus of flowering plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae. Brickelliastrum has at times been lumped with Brickellia or Steviopsis, but chromosome number (x=10) and molecular data are in agreement in showing that it is distinct from either of these. Despite having the general appearance of Brickellia, members of Brickelliastrum have cypselae that have only 5-7 ribs, funnel-shaped corollas, and a style with an unenlarged, glabrous base.
Hofmeisteria is a genus of Mexican flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
Oxylobus is a genus of Mesoamerican flowering plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.
Piqueria is a genus of Caribbean and Mesoamerican plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.
Steviopsis is a genus of Mexican plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.
Asanthus squamulosus is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to northern Mexico, and the southwestern United States. Common name is Mule Mountain false brickellbush.
Brickellia coulteri, or Coulter's brickellbush, is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Chromolaena bigelovii called Bigelow's false thoroughwort, or Bigelow's thoroughwort, is a North American species of flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae. It is native to northeastern Mexico and the US State of Texas.
Fleischmannia sonorae, the Sonoran slender-thoroughwort or Sonoran thoroughwort, is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to western Mexico from Sonora and Chihuahua as far south as Michoacán, as well as from the southwestern United States.
Flyriella parryi, the Chisos Mountain brickellbush, is a Mexican species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the states of Nuevo León, Coahuila, and Chihuahua in northern Mexico. It is the only species in its genus to have a natural range extending north of the international border, with a few populations on the Texas side of the Río Grande.
