Lasca

Lasca is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and is native to the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Species within the genus Lasca are herbaceous perennials, typically growing in dry, rocky habitats. They are characterized by their small, often yellow or white, daisy-like flowers. The leaves are usually simple and arranged alternately along the stem. Reproduction occurs through seeds.

The genus Lasca contains a limited number of species, with some sources listing only one or two, while others may include a few more depending on taxonomic classification. Common names for plants in this genus are not widely established, and they are often referred to by their scientific name. Historically, Lasca species have not been extensively cultivated or utilized for significant economic purposes. Their ecological role is primarily as a component of arid and semi-arid vegetation. Conservation status varies among the species, with some potentially being rare or facing localized threats due to habitat changes. Further research into their specific ecological interactions and potential uses continues to be an area of interest for botanists.
