Vernoniopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the aster tribe within the sunflower family.[2]

The genus name of Vernoniopsis is in honour of William Vernon (1666/67 - ca.1711), who was an English plant collector, (bryologist) and entomologist from Cambridge University, who collected in Maryland, USA in 1698.[4][5]
