Burkartia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae, containing the single species Burkartia lanigera.[1] It is endemic to Argentina.[2]
This species was formerly in genus Perezia, but it was separated because it has woolly trichomes in the leaf axils, a character not seen in any other Perezia.[3] The genus Burkartia was erected for it in 1976.[4] Molecular phylogenetic analyses in 2009 supported its separation from Perezia.[3]
