Vernoniopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the aster tribe within the sunflower family.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Jean-Henri Humbert in Mém. Inst. Sci. Madagascar, Sér. B, Biol. Vég. vol.6 on page 155 in 1955.[3]
The genus name of Vernoniopsis is in honour of William Vernon (1666/67 - ca.1711), who was an English plant collector, (bryologist) and entomologist from Cambridge University, who collected in Maryland, USA in 1698.[4][5]
