Haploesthes is a North American genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

It grows in Mexico and in the southwestern United States.

They are perennial herbs or subshrubs with yellow flower heads.

[2][3][4][5] The name is sometimes spelled Haploësthes, with a diaeresis over the first e to indicate that the o and the e are to be pronounced in separate syllables.

This is optional; either spelling is equally acceptable.
