Cyanthillium cinereum (also known as little ironweed and poovamkurunnal or poovamkurunnila in Malayalam, and monara kudumbiya in Sinhalese) is a species of perennial plants in the sunflower family. The species is native to tropical Africa and to tropical Asia ( India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Indonesia, etc.) and has become naturalized in Australia, Mesoamerica, tropical South America, the West Indies, and the US State of Florida. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Cyanthillium cinereum is an annual herb up to 120 cm (4 feet) tall. It produces flat-topped arrays of numerous flower heads, each with pinkish or purplish disc florets but no ray florets. [8] The species can be confused with Emilia sonchifolia, but the flower bracts of the latter are much longer and vase-shaped.[ citation needed]
Cyanthillium cinereum has been used for smoking cessation in Thailand and other countries, and as relief for the common cold. [9]
It used to be called Vernonia cinerea, but apparently there was a taxonomic update, sometime prior to early 2014.
