Burnellia is genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. It includes 28 species native to western South America, ranging from Colombia through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia.[1]

Species in the genus were formerly placed in Coreopsis sect. Pseudoagarista, nom. invalid. A phylogenetic study found that both Coreopsis and section Pseudoagarista were polyphyletic, and the species in section Pseudoagarista were placed in the new genera Pseudoagarista, with 11 species endemic to Mexico, and Burnellia, which includes the South American species.[2]
