Oreochrysum Rydb. 

An herbaceous perennial western North American genus with one species Oreochrysum parryi (synonyms: Haplopappus parryi, Solidago parryi).  It is related to Solidago, Tonestus, Petradoria and Hesperadoria and the aster genus Sericocarpus.  Semple et al. (1999) included it as a subgenus within Solidago based on the results of Zhang's (1996) cpDNA RFLP study.  More recently studies suggest Oreochrysum falls outside Solidago (Beck et al. 2004).
