Perezia is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae. It is distributed in South America, especially in the central and southern Andes.[1]

Though some species occur at sea level, most Perezia grow in high-elevation mountain habitat. Species are found in most high Andean ecosystems, except for the páramo.[1]

Some species are used in traditional medicine in South America. P. multiflora is used to treat postpartum hemorrhage, P. pinnatifida is used as a sedative, and P. purpurata is used as an anti-inflammatory.[2]

There are about 30 to 35 species in the genus.[1]

Perezia atacamensis
