About

Achyranthemum, commonly called the chaff flowers, is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae which is native to South Africa. The genus was first described by Nicola Bergh in 2019 in the South African Journal of Botany, and it was segregated from the genus Syncarpha due to its representation of a separate lineage.
