Alidispersiota

Alidispersiota is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The genus was first described by botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Alidispersiota is native to the Mediterranean region, including countries such as Spain, Italy, and Greece. The genus is characterized by its small, daisy-like flowers that are typically white or yellow in color. The flowers are arranged in a flat, disk-like shape, with a central cone of yellow disc florets surrounded by a ring of white ray florets. The leaves are usually narrow and linear, and the stems are often branched. Alidispersiota species are typically perennial herbs, growing to a height of about 30-60 centimeters. They are often found growing in rocky or sandy soils, and are known for their ability to tolerate drought conditions. The genus includes several species, with the most well-known being Alidispersiota montana, which is commonly found in the mountains of southern Europe. Alidispersiota plants are not typically cultivated for their ornamental value, but are instead valued for their ecological role in supporting local biodiversity.
