Stenotus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. There are four species, all native to western North America.[2] They are known commonly as mock goldenweeds.[2][3]
These are perennial herbs sometimes forming mats or clumps a few centimeters high, producing erect stems up to about 30 centimeters tall but known to reach 60 centimeters at times. They grow from a
pappus of fine white bristles.[2]
The names of two related genera were coined because they are anagrams of the name Stenotus: Nestotus[4] and Tonestus.[5]
