Hymenoxys (rubberweed or bitterweed) is a genus of plants in the sunflower family, native to North and South America.[3][4][5] It was named by Alexandre Henri Gabriel de Cassini in 1828.[4]

Plants of this genus are toxic to sheep due to the presence of the sesquiterpene lactone hymenoxon.[6][7][8]
