Learn more about Syngonanthus from the Vascular Plants of North Carolina.

Distinguished from all other SEUS Eriocaulaceae by its flattened to even somewhat recurved (the leaf tips curving down into the ground at their tips) rosettes of quite narrow leaves, often with a bluish-green color. All of our other Eriocaulaceae have basal rosettes of leaves that are mostly ascending to spreading, and more of a yellowish-green to deep green (or sometimes stramineous) color. In flower, Syngonanthus has a more "chaffy" looking inflorescence, the bracts appearing dry. Read more in Weakley's Flora (2022)
