Moquinia is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Moquinieae within the family Asteraceae. [3] [4]

The genus name of Moquinia is in honour of Alfred Moquin-Tandon (1804–1863), a French naturalist and doctor. [5] It was first described and published in 1838. [6]

Species

Over 40 species names have been described in the genus, but nearly all of them have been transferred to other genera ( Barrosoa , Gochnatia , Guayania , Inula , Llerasia , Piptocarpha , and Pseudostifftia ). Two remain in Moquinia. [2]

As of May 2024, Plants of the World Online listed Moquinia bojeri as "unplaced". [7]
