Calycadnum

Calycadnum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to South America, with species found in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The genus includes several perennial herbaceous plants, typically growing to heights of 30 to 60 centimeters. Calycadnum plants are characterized by their daisy-like flowers, which are usually white or pale yellow with a distinct central disk. The leaves are generally lance-shaped and can be either smooth or slightly hairy.

These plants are adapted to a variety of habitats, including grasslands, open woodlands, and disturbed areas. They often thrive in well-drained soils and prefer full sun exposure. While some species are more widespread than others, Calycadnum is not generally considered to be an endangered genus. Information regarding specific cultivation needs or ornamental uses is less common in widely accessible botanical resources, suggesting it is not a widely cultivated genus outside of its native range. Further research into specific species within Calycadnum may reveal more detailed ecological and potential horticultural information.
