"Grindelia" is a genus of plants native to the Americas belonging to the family Asteraceae, (Compositae). "G. squarrosa", a plant with bright yellow flowers indigenous to much of the United States, is commonly called curlycup gumweed.

Hairy gumweed, "Grindelia cuneifolia", occurs in brackish coastal marshes of western North America, such as in some portions of the San Francisco Bay perimeter.
