Dendroviguiera is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family. Its native range stretches from Mexico into Central America. Its species were formerly part of the genus Viguiera, until a DNA study in 2011 separated out all the shrub/tree species.
==Description== Dendroviguiera species generally are shrubs and trees with phyllaries (modified leaves) with oblong, indurated (hardened) bases and short, triangular herbaceous apices (leaf-tips). The pappus (flowerhead) has awns (hair or bristle-like appendages) which are usually broad, greater than mm across. The abaxial (underneath) leaf surfaces usually not densely pubescent (downy; covered with short, soft hairs).
