Psiadia, commonly known as daisy trees, is a genus of mostly woody Asian and African plants in the tribe Astereae within the family Asteraceae. The name Psiadia comes from the Greek ψιάς/psiás, ψιάδος/psiádos "drop", as the leaves of the species Psiadia glutinosa, for which Jacquin created the genus, seem covered with dewdrops. The genus is distributed throughout the Western Indian Ocean, with species reported from continental Eastern Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, La Reunion, Rodrigues, the Comoro islands, as well as several of the smaller, uninhabited islands in the Mozambique Channel. Additional species are suspected on Socotra and Sri Lanka, but these have not been confirmed.
