***Damnxanthodium*** is a [monotypic genus](/source/Monotypic_taxon) of flowering plants in the family [Asteraceae](/source/Asteraceae), containing the single species ***Damnxanthodium calvum***.[1][2] It is native to northern [Mexico](/source/Mexico).[3][4]

The plant was separated from the genus *[Perymenium](/source/Perymenium)*. It was given the new genus name *Damnxanthodium* because it is difficult to distinguish from similar asters.[5][6]
