Trixis is a genus of shrubs in the family Asteraceae, native to North and South America including the West Indies.
[3][4] Members of the genus are commonly known as threefolds[5] due to the outer lip of the corolla.
The generic name is derived from τριχος (trixos), the Greek word for 'threefold'.
[6][7] Numerous species once included in Trixis but now considered better suited to other genera: Acourtia Clibadium Dolichlasium Holocheilus Perezia Riencourtia
