Pyrrocoma is a genus of North American plants in the family Asteraceae.[2][3][4] These wildflowers are sometimes known as goldenweeds.

The species of Pyrrocoma were previously considered members of genus Haplopappus but were separated out into their own genus. Pyrrocoma are perennial plants with reddish stems and yellow daisy-like flowers. They are native to western North America.[5]
