Eynardia

Eynardia is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Western Asia. The genus was described by Carl Linnaeus the Younger in 1782. Eynardia species are typically small, herbaceous annuals or perennials, characterized by their daisy-like flower heads. The flowers are usually white or yellow with a prominent central disk. The leaves are often lobed or toothed. These plants are generally found in arid or semi-arid habitats, often growing in rocky or sandy soils. They are known for their ability to tolerate drought conditions. While not widely cultivated, some species may be found in botanical collections or as ornamental plants in rock gardens. Research on Eynardia has focused on its taxonomy, distribution, and ecological adaptations. Its relationship to other genera within the Asteraceae family is a subject of ongoing study. The specific etymology of the genus name Eynardia is not definitively established.
