Kampasella

Kampasella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The genus is native to South America. Species within Kampasella are herbaceous perennials or subshrubs. They are characterized by their daisy-like flower heads, which typically have white ray florets and yellow disc florets. The leaves are usually simple and arranged alternately along the stem.

The taxonomy of Kampasella has undergone revisions, with some species previously assigned to other genera being reclassified. The exact number of species recognized within Kampasella can vary depending on taxonomic interpretations. These plants are often found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, open woodlands, and disturbed areas. Their ecological role typically involves providing nectar and pollen for pollinators.

Cultivation of Kampasella species is not widespread, as they are not commonly grown as ornamental plants in gardens. However, some species may have local uses or traditional significance in their native regions. Further research into the phytochemical properties and ecological interactions of Kampasella species may reveal additional information about their biology and potential applications. The genus is a part of the diverse flora of South America and contributes to the biodiversity of the Asteraceae family.
