Xerochrysum

Xerochrysum (syn. Bracteantha) is a genus of flowering plants native to Australia. It was described by Russian botanist Nikolai Tzvelev in 1990, preceding (and taking precedence over) Bracteantha which was described the following year.

This genus and its species names were formerly included in Bracteantha and before that in Helichrysum.

As of September 2024 the authoritative Australian Plant Census recognises thirteen formally named species and five accepted species awaiting formal naming, description and publication:

A large scale molecular study conducted in 2022 expands the number of Xerochrysum species to 24, but as of 2024 has not been used for the Australian Plant Census.
