Acourtia is a genus of flowering plants composed of the desertpeonies. It is part of the daisy family and was first described as a genus in 1830.[4][5][6]

Plants in this genus are native to the Southwestern United States (California to Texas) and Mesoamerica.[7] They are diverse in appearance. The flowers are usually white, pink, or purple.[3][8][9] Their flower heads are usually composed of only disc florets, though some are long and look like ray florets.
