Euchiton is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family. They are native to Australasia and the Pacific. Some have been introduced far outside their native ranges.
These are annual and perennial herbs. Some have rhizomes, and most have stolons. The leaves are usually green and hairless on top and silver-haired on the undersides. Most have purple florets.[1]
There are approximately 17 species,[1] but the taxonomy of the genus is still unclear and is likely to change.[2] Several species were recently transferred into the new genus Argyrotegium, for example.[3]
Species include:
- Euchiton argentifolius
- Euchiton brassii
- Euchiton breviscapus
- Euchiton gymnocephalus - creeping cudweed
- Euchiton involucratus - common cudweed, star cudweed
- Euchiton japonicus - father-and-child plant
- Euchiton lateralis
- Euchiton limosus
- Euchiton litticola[4]
- Euchiton sphaericus - star cudweed, tropical creeping cudweed
- Euchiton traversii
- Euchiton umbricola
