About 100-110, see text Brickellia is a North American genus of about 100[2] to 110[3] species of plants in the family Asteraceae, known commonly as brickellbushes.

They are found in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Central America.

Brickellia is among the more basal lineages of the Eupatorieae and should not be assigned to a subtribe pending further research.

The genus is named for John Brickell, 1748–1809, Irish-born physician and naturalist.

Their correct placement is still debated,[6] but molecular phylogenetic analysis has provided evidence that Brickelliastrum, Asanthus, and Steviopsis (including Dyscritogyne, which is not distinct from Steviopsis) represent distinct lineages, and should be recognized as separate from Brickellia, while [Kuhnia], [Barroetea] and [Phanerostylis] should be treated as synonyms.
