Porophyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family known commonly as the poreleaf genus. Poreleaf plants are subshrubs native to the Americas. As their name suggests, their leaves often have large glands that produce aromatic oils and give the plants a strong scent. Many species are used in cooking.
