Packera is a genus of about 75 species of plants in the daisy family, Asteraceae. [1] Most species are commonly called ragworts or grounsels. Its members were previously included in the genus Senecio (where they were called aureoid senecios by Asa Gray), but were moved to a different genus based on chromosome numbers, a variety of morphological characters, and molecular phylogenetic evidence.
The hostplants for the species include Arnoglossum muehlenbergii, Erechtites hieracifolia, Prenanthes alba, and Packera aurea. They mine the leaves of their host plant. The mine has the form of a long, narrow, linear, winding mine on the upperside of the leaf.
