Conyza (horseweed, butterweed or fleabane) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. [4] [5] [6] [7]

They are native to tropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world, and also north into cool temperate regions in North America and eastern Asia. The New World species of the genus are closely related to Erigeron (also known as fleabanes). [8]

The species are annual or perennial herbaceous plants, rarely shrubs, growing to 1–2 m tall. The stems are erect, branched, with alternate leaves. The flowers are produced in inflorescences, with several inflorescences loosely clustered on each stem. [8]

Many species of the genus Conyza are ruderal species and some have been found to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate. [9]

Crassocephalum is a genus the common names of whose members include ragleaf, thickhead, and bologi. Several species are raised as leaf vegetables and used for medicine, especially in West Africa. Similar to Senecio, but differing in never having ray florets. A calyculus of short bracts is present. The genus is typically thistle-like in appearance, but all parts are soft and not spiny.
