Sedoides

Sedoides is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. The genus was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It is characterized by its small, daisy-like flowers that are typically yellow or white, and its leaves that are often silvery or grayish-green. The plants in this genus are perennial herbs, growing to a height of about 30-60 centimeters. They are often found in rocky or sandy soils, and some species are known for their medicinal properties. Sedoides is a relatively small genus, with only about 10 recognized species. Despite its limited size, it plays an important role in the ecosystem of the regions it inhabits, providing food and habitat for various wildlife. The genus name "Sedoides" is derived from the Greek words "sedos," meaning "sedge," and "eidos," meaning "form," reflecting the plant's resemblance to sedges.
