The HED Meteorites:
The HED meteorite group is so named for the three types of meteorites that comprise the group; Howardite, Eucrite and Diogenite. The Eucrite and Diogenite are distinct meteorites, while the Howardite is a mix of the Eucrite and Diogenite lithologies. The HEDs are differentiated achondritic meteorites previously thought to originate from Vesta, but now leading researchers are starting to think they also originate from smaller Vestoid asteroids (not only Vesta itself). This is because we find iron meteorites with similar isotopic genetics as the HEDs and occasional discrepancies in oxygen isotopic ratios of some of the HED meteorites. This leads some researchers to conclude the HED meteorites not only come from the large 4 Vesta parent body, but also likely from the smaller Vestoids as well.
