Erigeron (/ɪˈrɪdʒərɒn/)[4] is a large genus of plants in the composite family (Asteraceae).[5] It is placed in the tribe Astereae and is closely related to the Old World asters (Aster) and the true daisies (Bellis). The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, but the highest diversity occurs in North America.[5][6][7][8][9]
