Cyanthillium cinereum (also known as Little Ironweed) is a species of perennial plant from the Asteraceae family that can be found in most part of Asia[2] and is naturalised in Australia.[3] It can be confused with Emilia sonchifolia, but the flower bracts of the latter are much longer and vase-shaped.
