Euthamia
See list of 2 species in this genusLeaf blade measurements in the following key are for those leaves produced along the main axis of the stem. Leaves from within the branches of the capitulescence (i.e., bracts), which are frequently (and incorrectly) referenced for measurements, will yield smaller results. Reference: Haines (2006).
-

-
1b. Leaf blades with few and/or inconspicuous resin glands, usually 3–12 mm wide; plants varying from glabrous to conspicuously pubescent on the stem and abaxial leaf surfaces; axillary fascicles, if present, usually poorly developed and sparse
