Hesperomannia
# Hesperomannia

Hesperomannia (island-aster) is a genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.

Hesperomannia is endemic to Hawaii and consists of four species:

* Hesperomannia arborescens (Lanai hesperomannia)
* Hesperomannia arbuscula (Maui hesperomannia)
* Hesperomannia lydgatei (Kauai hesperomannia)
* Hesperomannia swezeyi

Although traditionally classified in the tribe Mutisieae, molecular evidence shows that it belongs in the tribe Vernonieae, most closely related to the African Vernonia species.
