Brickellia glomerata is a Mexican species of flowering plants in the daisy family. It is found in central and southwestern Mexico, in the States of México, Morelos, Guerrero, and Oaxaca.[2]

Brickellia glomerata produces several flower heads with disc florets but no ray florets. The heads are clumped together in groups called "glomerules," hence the scientific name of the species.[3]
