Baeriolo

Baeriolo is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as daisy-like plants. The genus was first described in 1865. Baeriolo species are native to Australia, where they are found in various habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, and coastal areas. They are annual or perennial herbs, often with a spreading or erect growth habit. The leaves are typically simple and alternate, with toothed or lobed margins. The flowers are usually yellow and arranged in solitary heads, resembling small daisies. Each flower head consists of ray florets and disc florets. The fruit is an achene.

Several species are recognized within the Baeriolo genus, though taxonomic classifications can vary. Some common species include Baeriolo glabratus and Baeriolo integrifolius. These plants are often found in arid or semi-arid regions and play a role in their respective ecosystems. They may be important for pollinators, providing nectar and pollen. Their seeds can also be a food source for small animals. Baeriolo species are generally not cultivated extensively but are sometimes found in native plant gardens or as wildflowers in their natural range. Their resilience to drought and common occurrence in certain Australian landscapes make them a recognizable part of the flora.
