Carminatia is a genus of annual plants in the daisy family. They are native primarily to Mexico, but also the southwestern United States and Central America.[2][1]
Description
These plants have erect stems which are unbranched or have few branches and grow 10 centimeters to well over a meter in height. The leaves are mostly opposite, but on the upper stem they may be alternately arranged. The cylindrical flower heads are just a few millimeters wide and are arranged in narrow or spikelike inflorescences. They contain 8 to 12 greenish or whitish disc florets. The fruit is a cypsela with a pappus of several plumelike bristles or scales.[2]
