Heliopsis decumbens is a rare South American species of flowering plant in the family sunflower family. It has been found only in Peru. It, H. canescens, and H. lanceolata are the only three known species of their genus endemic to South America. All the other species are indigenous to North America, with one (H. buphthalmoides) found on both continents.[1][2]
