Chuquiraga is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family. The genus is distributed in the Andes from Colombia to Chile, with most species occurring in Patagonia. These are evergreen shrubs. They have many shapes and sizes of leaves, and two general types of flowers apparently adapted for pollination by hummingbirds and insects. Some species occur at elevations over 4000 meters in the Andes, while others can be found at sea level. Some species have been used as fuel, as traditional medicines, and as ornamental plants.
