Gnaphalium is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. It contains about 120 species, which are commonly called cudweeds. They are mostly found in temperate regions, although some are found on tropical mountains or in the subtropical regions of the world.
Cudweeds are important foodplants for American Painted Lady caterpillars.
