About 30-35 Perezia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.

It is distributed in South America, especially in the central and southern Andes.

[1] Though some species occur at sea level, most Perezia grow in high-elevation mountain habitat.

Species are found in most high Andean ecosystems, except for the páramo.

P. multiflora is used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, P. pinnatifida is used as a sedative, and P. purpurata is used as an anti-inflammatory.
