Miloevis

Miloevis is a fictional genus of flowering plants created for speculative biology and science-fiction world-building. In the imagined taxonomy, Miloevis is placed within the family Asteraceae, order Asterales, and is said to comprise several annual or perennial herbaceous species.

Species commonly cited in the corpus include Miloevis aurea, described as an annual with bright golden-yellow capitula, and Miloevis nocturna, a perennial with pale, moonlit-lilac corollas. Members are typically 20–120 cm tall, with lobed leaves and composite flower heads that resemble daisies. The fruit is an achene with a hair-like pappus facilitating wind dispersal.

Ecology and distribution: In the fictional setting, Miloevis species inhabit temperate meadows and open woodlands, often on calcareous soils. Pollination is attributed to native bees and butterflies; seed dispersal relies on wind. The genus is used in teaching to illustrate plant taxonomy, morphology, and evolutionary concepts, and appears in speculative fiction as a representation of meadow flora.

Miloevis is a fictional construct; it has no basis in real-world taxonomy.
