Brachyglottis Brachyglottis elaeagnifolia Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Embryophytes Clade: Tracheophytes Clade: Spermatophytes Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Clade: Asterids Order: Asterales Family: Asteraceae Subfamily: Asteroideae Tribe: Senecioneae Genus: Brachyglottis J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. Species About 39 Synonyms[1] Urostemon B.Nord.

***Brachyglottis*** is a [genus](/source/Genus) of [flowering plants](/source/Flowering_plant) in the [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) [Asteraceae](/source/Asteraceae). The genus was erected on November 29, [1775](/source/1775_in_science),[2][3] by [Johann Reinhold Forster](/source/Johann_Reinhold_Forster) and [Georg Forster](/source/Georg_Forster). The name was derived from the [Greek](/source/Greek_language) *brachus* ("short")[4] and *glottis* ("the vocal apparatus of the larynx"[5]) a reference to the size of the ray florets.[6]

The genus is almost entirely native to [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand), except for *B. brunonis*, which occurs in [Tasmania](/source/Tasmania).[7]

In cultivation in the UK, the [cultivar](/source/Cultivar) 'Sunshine' has received the [Royal Horticultural Society](/source/Royal_Horticultural_Society)'s [Award of Garden Merit](/source/Award_of_Garden_Merit).[8]

## Etymology

*Brachyglottis* comes from the two greek words: *Brachus,* meaning short, and *glottis* which is the vocal apparatus of the [larynx](/source/Larynx).[9]
