Lessingia is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae which are native to western North America.

[2][3][4] Lessingias are generally daisy-like in appearance with white, yellow, or purple flowers, but they vary in appearance.

Some lessingias are sometimes treated as members of different genera, such as Benitoa.

[5][6][7] Some species once regarded as part of Lessingia are now considered more suited to other genera: Artemisia, Benitoa, Cacalia, Chrysolaena, Corethrogyne, Lessingianthus, Vernonia.
