ammusen

Ammusen is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The genus contains a single species, Ammusen integrifolia. This perennial herb is native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in parts of Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus.

Ammusen integrifolia typically grows to a height of 30 to 60 centimeters. It features lance-shaped leaves that are smooth-edged, hence the specific epithet "integrifolia," which translates to "entire-leaved." The plant produces solitary daisy-like flower heads, each with white ray florets surrounding a yellow disc. These flowers bloom from late spring through summer.

The plant prefers well-drained soils and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is often found in rocky areas, open woodlands, and meadows. While not widely cultivated, Ammusen integrifolia has some traditional medicinal uses in its native regions, although scientific validation for these uses is limited. The genus Ammusen is relatively small and its taxonomy is well-established, with no significant debates or sub-classifications within the genus. Its ecological role primarily involves supporting local pollinators.
