Pectis
''Pectis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae described as a genus by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus in 1759. The name is derived from the Latin word ''pecten'', meaning "comb." It refers to the marginally-bristled leaves or the pappus form. These plants vary in appearance but they usually bear yellow daisy-like flower heads. Members of the genus are known generally as cinchweeds (current usage) or chinchweeds (older name). They are native to the Americas, including the West Indies.Keil, D. J. 1986.
