Coronidium is a genus of about 21 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Plants in the genus Coronidium are perennial herbs with disc-like heads of flowers, surrounded by several rows of involucral bracts, the florets usually bisexual with narrowly cylindrical petals forming a tube. After flowering, glabous, oblong cypselas form with a bristly pappus.[2][3][4]
