Oreochrysum

Parry’s Goldenweed

Oreochrysum Rydb. includes one herbaceous perennial species O. parryi  (²õ²â²Ô´Ç²Ô²â³¾²õ:ÌýHaplopappus parryi,ÌýSolidago parryi) native to western North America. It is related to Solidago,ÌýTonestus,ÌýPetradoriaÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýHesperadoria and the aster genus Sericocarpus.  Semple et al. (1999) included it as a subgenus within Solidago based on the results of Zhang's (1996) cpDNA RFLP study.  Subsequently, studies suggested Oreochrysum falls outside Solidago (Beck et al. 2004) and it is treated as a separate genus here and by Nesom (2006, Flora North America).
