Baeos

Baeos is a genus of small, herbaceous plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. These plants are native to the Mediterranean region and parts of western Asia. Baeos species are typically characterized by their low-growing habit and their small, daisy-like flowers. The flowers are usually white or pale yellow, with prominent yellow centers.

The leaves of Baeos plants are generally small and ovate, often arranged in a basal rosette. The plant's overall appearance is somewhat unassuming, and it often grows in dry, open habitats such as grasslands, rocky slopes, and disturbed ground. Baeos is not widely cultivated, and its ecological role is primarily as a component of the native flora in its natural range.

Botanical classification places Baeos within the tribe Astereae, which is one of the largest and most diverse tribes in the Asteraceae family. While individual species within the genus may have specific habitat preferences or subtle morphological differences, the genus as a whole shares common characteristics related to flower structure, leaf arrangement, and overall growth form. Information regarding the specific uses or cultural significance of Baeos is limited, suggesting it is not a plant of major economic or ornamental importance. Further research may be needed to fully understand the distribution, diversity, and ecological interactions of this genus.
