Chrysopsis

Chrysopsis (golden asters) are plants in the family Asteraceae native to the southern and eastern United States.

[2][3][4] These are annual and perennial herbs bearing daisy-like flower heads with yellow disc florets and usually yellow ray florets.

Some species formerly classified in this genus are now included in other genera: Heterotheca, Pityopsis, Stenotus, Ionactis, Aster, Eucephalus, Erigeron, Machaeranthera, Croptilon, Xanthisma, Oclemena, Bradburia, Oxypappus, Arnica, and Helichrysopsis.

[1] Golden asters are often used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including Schinia petulans (which feeds exclusively on C. subulata).
