Asteraceae
Asteraceae () is a large family (biology), family of flowering plants that consists of over 32,000 known species in over 1,900 genera within the Order (biology), order Asterales. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of Extant taxon, extant species in each family is unknown. The Asteraceae were first described in the year 1740 and given the original name Composita, Compositae. The family is commonly known as the aster, Daisy (flower), daisy, composite, or sunflower family. Most species of Asteraceae are herbaceous plants, and may be Annual plant, annual, Biennial plant, biennial, or Perennial plant, perennial, but there are also shrubs, vines, and trees. The family has a widespread distribution, from subpolar to tropical regions, in a wide variety of habitats. Most occur in Hot desert climate, hot desert and cold or hot Semi-arid climate, semi-desert climates, and they are found on ever ...

Gochnatia Oligocephala
''Gochnatia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It is named for botanist Frédéric Karl Gochnat. The genus contains mainly shrubs and subshrubs, with a few trees and herbs. All of the species are native to the American tropics. Two species native to the mountains of Southeast Asia and formerly included here are now separated as the genus ''Leucomeris'' in subfamily Wunderlichioideae. These plants produce flower heads containing whitish or yellow disc florets each with five deep lobes. The style has short, smooth branches, and the fruit is a lightly hairy cypsela with a pappus of bristles or scales.González-Medrano, F., et al.

Moquiniastrum
''Moquiniastrum'' is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. Its native range is Venezuelan Antilles to Southern Tropical America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela and Venezuelan Antilles. The genus name of ''Moquiniastrum'' is in honour of Alfred Moquin-Tandon (1804–1863), a French naturalist and doctor. It was first described and published in Phytotaxa Vol.147 on page 29 in 2013.

Nahuatlea
''Nahuatlea'' is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It includes seven species which range from southern Texas to southern Mexico. The species which constitute genus ''Nahuatlea'' were originally placed in genus ''Gochnatia''. It was later discovered that ''Gochnatia'' was not monophyletic, and included a number of distinct clades. In 2017 Vicki Funk combined Mexican species of ''Gochnatia'' into a new genus ''Nahuatlea''. Funk concluded that the genus is a sister to the Caribbean genus ''Anastraphia'', and their common ancestor originated from South America in a dispersal event, evidenced by the fact that the Mexican ''Gochnatia'' (now ''Nahuatlea'') are more morphologically similar to the Andean The Andes ( ), Andes Mountains or Andean Mountain Range (; ) are the longest continental mountain range in the world, forming a continuous highland along the western edge of South America.
