Steviopsis
''Steviopsis'' is a genus of Mexican plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.D.J.N.Hind & H.E.Robinson. 2007. Tribe Eupatorieae In: ''The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants'' vol.VIII. (Joachim W.Kadereit & Charles Jeffrey, volume editors. Klaus Kubitzky, general editor). Springer-Verlag. Berlin, Heidelberg. Description Members of ''Steviopsis'' are perennial herbs that have heads composed entirely of disk flowers, a pappus of capillary bristles, narrow corollas with spreading lobes, and glands on the cypselae ( achenes). The base chromosome number is ''x''=10, which distinguishes it in part from the morphologically similar '' Brickellia''. The genus is endemic to Mexico. Taxonomy The genus was originally described by King and Robinson as part of the splitting of '' Eupatorium'' into monophyletic units. The distinctiveness and circumscription of the genus were recently assessed using molecular phylogenetic approaches : SpeciesTurner, B. L. 1997 ...

Brickellia
''Brickellia'' is a North American genus of about 100 to 110 species of plants in the family Asteraceae, known commonly as brickellbushes. They are found in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central America. Many species are native to the American southwest, especially Texas. ''Brickellia'' is among the more basal lineages of the Eupatorieae and should not be assigned to a subtribe pending further research. They are mostly woody perennial shrubs. Some species have a very strong pleasant scent, while others smell distasteful. All contain high amounts of essential oils. Germacrene D, a natural insecticide, is found in '' B. veronicifolia'' and probably other species, if not all. Despite their chemical defenses, brickellbushes are food for caterpillars of certain Lepidoptera. These include the noctuid moths ''Schinia trifascia'', ''Schinia oleagina'', which is known only from ''Brickellia'', ''Schinia buta'', which is only known from '' B. californica'', and ''Schinia gr ...
