Genus of flowering plants
Flaveria is a genus of plants in the family
Asteraceae .
[3]
[4] They are sometimes called yellowtops . Some are annual or perennial herbs and some are shrubs. They bear yellow flowers in
heads , with zero, one, or two
ray florets in each head.
[5] These plants are found in the
Americas ,
Asia ,
Africa , and Australia.
[5]
[6]
While some members of this genus use the more common
C3 carbon fixation pathway, others are
C4 plants , and some are intermediate. With closely related species exhibiting different forms of metabolism, Flaveria has been a
model genus for studies on the evolution of photosynthesis.

[8]
[9] A monograph by A.M. Powell from 1978
[10] is the most comprehensive study of morphology and biogeography for the Flaveria species to date.
Molecular phylogenetic studies have clarified many of the evolutionary relationships between Flaveria species.
