Billiasi is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region. The genus was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The name Billiasi honors the Swedish botanist Carl Billias. Plants in this genus are typically annuals or perennials. They often have daisy-like flowers, which can be white, yellow, or pink. The leaves are usually lance-shaped and arranged alternately along the stem. Billiasi species are found in a variety of habitats, including meadows, grasslands, and rocky areas. They are generally hardy plants that can tolerate a range of soil types and climatic conditions. Some species are cultivated as ornamental plants for their attractive flowers. The genus is relatively small, with a limited number of species. Further research is ongoing to fully understand the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of Billiasi within the Asteraceae family.
