Brachyglottis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus was erected on November 29, 1775, [2] [3] by Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster. The name was derived from the Greek brachus ("short") [4] and glottis ("the vocal apparatus of the larynx" [5]) a reference to the size of the ray florets. [6]
The genus is almost entirely native to New Zealand, except for B. brunonis, which occurs in Tasmania. [7]
In cultivation in the UK, the cultivar 'Sunshine' has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [8]
There are about 39 accepted species names. [9] Most species were transferred to the genus from Senecio in 1977 and 1978. [10] [11]
