Cyclolepis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae.[1] The sole species, Cyclolepis genistoides, is native to South America, where it occurs in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and possibly Bolivia.[2] Its common names include palo azul and matorro negro.[3]
This is a dominant halophytic shrub in some saline habitat types, such as coastal habitat near Bahía Blanca[4][5] and the inland salt marshes of central Argentina.[6]
