Cyanthillium cinereum (also known as little ironweed and poovamkurunnal or poovamkurunnila in Malayalam, and monara kudumbiya in Sinhalese) is a species of perennial plants in the sunflower family. The species is native to tropical Africa and to tropical Asia (India , Sri Lanka, Indochina, Indonesia, etc.) and has become naturalized in Australia , Mesoamerica, tropical South America, the West Indies, and the US State of Florida.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Cyanthillium cinereum is an annual herb up to 120 cm (4 feet) tall. It produces flat-topped arrays of numerous flower heads, each with pinkish or purplish disc florets but no ray florets.[8] The species can be confused with Emilia sonchifolia, but the flower bracts of the latter are much longer and vase-shaped.[citation needed]

Cyanthillium cinereum has been used for smoking cessation in Thailand and other countries, and as relief for the common cold.[9]

It used to be called Vernonia cinerea, but apparently there was a taxonomic update, sometime prior to early 2014.
