Etymology of Conyza:
Gk. konyza = a fleabane. The plant was believed to drive away gnats (William Henry Harvey, Flora Capensis). Paxton’s Botanical Dictionary derives the name from konis = dust; the powdered leaves of some species drives away flies, etc., hence the trivial English name ‘flea-bane.’
