Cirsium
''Cirsium'' is a genus of Perennial plant, perennial and Biennial plant, biennial flowering plants in the Asteraceae, one of several genera known commonly as thistles. They are more precisely known as plume thistles. These differ from other thistle genera (''Carduus'', ''Silybum'' and ''Onopordum'') in having a seed with a Pappus (flower structure), pappus of feathered hairs on their achenes. The other genera have a pappus of simple unbranched hairs. They are mostly native to Eurasia and northern Africa, with about 60 species from North America (although several species have been introduced outside their native ranges). The type (biology), lectotype species of the genus is ''Cirsium heterophyllum'' (L.) Hill. ''Cirsium'' thistles are known for their effusive flower heads, usually purple, rose or pink, also yellow or white. The radially symmetrical disc flowers are at the end of the branches and are visited by many kinds of insects, featuring a generalised pollination syndrome. Th ...

Verbesina
''Verbesina'', many species of which have crownbeard as part of their common names, is a genus of flowering plants, in the family Asteraceae. It is a large genus of about 350 species. All of the species bear white or yellow flowers similar to small sunflowers. The name ''Verbesina'' very likely refers to the similarity of the foliage to that of the (unrelated) ''Verbena.'' ''Verbesina'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species. These include ''Schinia bina'', which has been recorded from '' V. encelioides'', and '' Schinia siren'' which feeds exclusively on that species. Pollen grains from eight of the nine species of ''Verbesina'' found in Brazil have been characterized as oblate-spheroidal, medium-sized, isopolar monads. They are 3-colplorate with a subtriangular amb, a small polar area, a long colpus, a lalongate endoaperture, a caveate exine and an echinate sexine.

Fleischmannia
''Fleischmannia'' is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. The name honours Gottfried F. Fleischmann (1777–1850), the teacher of Carl Heinrich Schultz at University of Erlangen–Nuremberg. Members of the genus are native to South, Central, and North America, with some species found as far north as Virginia and Illinois. They are commonly known as thoroughworts. ''Fleischmannia'' is in the tribe Eupatorieae and as such has flower heads with disc florets and no ray florets. Within that tribe it is most closely related to ''Conoclinium'' and ''Ageratum''. ''Fleischmannia'' species were traditionally included as part of the large ''Eupatorium'', recognized in the broad sense based on achenes with five ribs and a pappus of capillary bristles. ''Fleischmannia'' is distinguished morphologically by having the inner surface of the corolla lobes markedly papillate This glossary of botanical terms is a list of definitions of terms and concepts relevant to bot ...

Chromolaena
''Chromolaena'' is a genus of about 165 species of perennials and shrubs in the family Asteraceae. The name is derived from the Greek words (), meaning "color", and () or () meaning "cloak". It refers to the colored phyllaries of some species. Members of the genus are native to the Americas, from the southern United States to South America (especially Brazil). One species, ''Chromolaena odorata'', has been introduced to many parts of the world where it is considered a weed. The plants of this genus were earlier taxonomically classified under the genus ''Eupatorium'', but are now considered to be more closely related to other genera in the tribe Eupatorieae. Species There are about 165 species, including: * '' Chromolaena bigelovii'' ( A.Gray) R.M.King & H.Rob. – Bigelow's thoroughwort * ''Chromolaena borinquensis'' (Britt.)

Bromelia
''Bromelia'' is a genus of about 70 plant species widespread across Latin America and the West Indies. It is the type genus of the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae, and its type species is '' B. karatas''. ''Bromelia'' species are characterized by flowers with a deeply cleft calyx. The genus is named after the Swedish medical doctor and botanist (1639-1705).
