Genus of flowering plants
Conoclinium, the mistflowers, is a genus of four species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants, native to North America. They are tall, and have blue to purple or violet flowers (occasionally white).
The plants of this genus have sometimes been classified in the genus "Eupatorium", but late 20th century research shows they are more closely related to other plants of the Eupatorieae, such as "Ageratum".
The generic name is derived from the Greek words (), meaning "cone", and (), meaning "little bed".
