Chrysogonum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. , two circumscriptions of the genus were in use. In the broader circumscription, the genus has a discontinuous distribution, with species native to eastern North America and Madagascar. In the narrower circumscription, the genus contains only species native to eastern North America.
==Description== The plants are low-growing terrestrial herbs with yellow flower heads containing both disc and ray florets. The genus is distinctive in having pistillate ray florets and staminate disk florets, and the pistil of the ray floret is fused to the adjacent phyllary as well as three paleae and their associated disk florets to form a "cypsela complex".
