Tiskilina

Tiskilina is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The plants in this genus are native to the Mediterranean region and parts of southwestern Asia. They are typically herbaceous perennials that grow to be about 30 to 60 centimeters tall.

The leaves of Tiskilina are usually ovate or lanceolate and are arranged alternately on the stem. They can be entire or toothed along the margins. The flowers are borne in capitula, which are characteristic of the Asteraceae family. The capitula are typically composed of ray florets and disc florets. The ray florets are usually white or pale yellow, and the disc florets are typically yellow. The fruit is an achene.

Species within the Tiskilina genus are often found growing in dry, open habitats, such as grasslands, rocky slopes, and disturbed ground. They are known for their drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor soil conditions.

While not widely cultivated for ornamental purposes, some species of Tiskilina may have traditional uses in their native regions. Further research into the ethnobotany and medicinal properties of Tiskilina is ongoing. The genus Tiskilina is part of the broader subfamily Asteroideae, which contains a large number of well-known genera such as Aster, Chrysanthemum, and Solidago.
