Cymophora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.Robinson, Benjamin Lincoln. 1907. Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 43(2): 39-40 descriptions in Latin, commentary in EnglishTropicos, Cymophora B.L. Rob. All known species are native to Mexico.Turner, B. L. (1992). A new species of Cymophora (Asteraceae, Heliantheae) from Guerrero, Mexico. Phytologia 73(3) 242-46.
Some authors have included these plants in the genus Tridax because they are morphologically similar with the same chromosome count. Others find that they have sufficient morphological differences to be kept separate.
