Brickellia gentryi is a Mexican species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It is found only in the State of Durango in northwestern Mexico.[1]

Brickellia gentryi is superficially similar to B. lanata but has thinner leaves and white, nodding (hanging) flower heads in groups of 2-3.[2]

The species is named for American botanist Howard Scott Gentry, 1903-1993.[2]
