Iresosassa

Iresosassa is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus contains a single species, Iresosassa scoparia, which is native to the Mediterranean region. This plant is a perennial herb that typically grows to a height of about 30 centimeters. It has a woody base and produces slender, erect stems. The leaves are small and scale-like, arranged alternately along the stems.

The flowers of Iresosassa scoparia are small and daisy-like, with white ray florets and yellow disc florets. They are borne in clusters at the tips of the stems. The flowering season is typically from late spring to early summer. The plant produces small, achene fruits that are dispersed by wind.

Iresosassa scoparia is found in dry, rocky habitats, often on slopes and in open areas. It is adapted to arid conditions and can tolerate poor, well-drained soils. The plant is not widely cultivated, but it can be found in some botanical gardens and specialist collections. Its conservation status is not well-documented, but it is not considered to be endangered. The genus name, Iresosassa, is derived from Greek words referring to the plant's resemblance to a broom.
