Viguiera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It contains around 19–40 species, which are commonly known as goldeneyes and are native to the New World. These are herbs to bushy shrubs that bear yellow or orange daisy-like flowers.

Taxonomy

The name honours French physician L. G. Alexandre Viguier (1790–1867).

It was first described and published by Carl Sigismund Kunth in (F. W. H. von Humboldt, A. J. A. Bonpland and Carl Sigismund Kunth, edited), Nov. Gen. Sp., ed. fol., vol. 4 on page 176 in 1818.

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies by botanists Schilling and Panero in 2011, showed that these species are within a large group that were formerly classified in the genus Viguiera, and so Aldama has been expanded to include a total of 118 species (most of those from Viguiera).

Species

19 species are accepted by Plants of the World Online (shown by pw), and World Flora Online accepts 40 species (shown in list below);

Selected species transferred to Aldama includes; Viguiera australis S.F.Blake, Viguiera cordifolia A.Gray, Viguiera media S.F.Blake, Viguiera nudicaulis Baker,Viguiera paneroi B.L.Turner, Viguiera phenax S.F.Blake – Field Goldeneye, Viguiera procumbens (Pers.)

S.F.Blake, Viguiera stenoloba S.F.Blake – Skeletonleaf Goldeneye, Viguiera sylvatica Klatt, Viguiera triloba (A.Gray) J.Olsen – Yellow Streamers and Viguiera tuberosa (Sch.Bip.)
