Elephantopus is a genus of perennial plants in the daisy family (Asteraceae).[1][2][3]
The genus is widespread over much of Africa, southern Asia, Australia, and the Americas.[4] Several species are native to the southeastern United States,[5][6] and at least one is native to India and the Himalayas.[7][8][9]
Uses
Elephantopus scaber is a traditional medicine[10] and other species, including E. mollis[11] and E. carolinianus,[12] have also been investigated for medicinal properties. Elephantopus scaber contains elephantopin which is a germacranolide sesquiterpene lactone containing two lactone rings and an epoxide functional group.[13]
