Pronunciation: [ˈɛɹɪd͡ʒəɹən] (IPA) 
Erigeron is a genus of plants that mainly grow in North America, which is also commonly known as fleabane.

These synonyms came from various parts of North America, where people observed different characteristics of Erigeron. For instance, horseweed refers to the plant's impressive height (up to 12 feet), and coyoteweed came from the herb's resilience and capability to grow in challenging environments.
