Storvind

Storvind is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The genus was described by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Species within the Storvind genus are typically found in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. These plants are characterized by their composite flower heads, which consist of many small florets. The ray florets, often the most noticeable part of the flower, are usually white or yellow, surrounding a central disk of smaller, tubular florets.

The exact number of species recognized within Storvind can vary depending on taxonomic interpretation. However, common examples often include species with medicinal or ornamental uses. The leaves of Storvind plants are typically arranged alternately along the stem and can be simple or lobed. They generally prefer well-drained soils and a good amount of sunlight. Propagation is usually achieved through seeds or division. Many species are hardy perennials, capable of surviving cold winters. Their ecological role often involves providing nectar and pollen for pollinators. In some regions, certain Storvind species may be considered weeds due to their vigorous growth habits.
