Hartwrightia is a genus of North American flowering plants in the tribe Eupatorieae of the family Asteraceae.[2] The genus contains a single species, Hartwrightia floridana, native to the US states of Georgia and Florida.[3][4] The species is sometimes referred to by the common name Florida hartwrightia.[5]
Although superficially similar to some species in Eupatorium, it can be distinguished by having a basal rosette of leaves, flowers of a different shape, and the fruit which lacks the parachute-like pappus found in Eupatorium.[1] The plant is about one meter tall. It flowers in the fall and the flowers are white to pink or blue.[6]
The genus is named for plant collector Samuel Hart Wright, 1825–1905.[6]
