onolla

Onolla is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. Onolla species are native to South America, primarily in Argentina and Chile. These plants are typically annuals or biennials, growing to be small to medium-sized herbaceous plants. They are characterized by their daisy-like flowers, which usually have white or pale yellow ray florets and a darker center. The leaves are generally simple and arranged alternately along the stem. Onolla plants often grow in arid or semi-arid environments, found in open fields, grasslands, and disturbed areas. Their pollination is carried out by insects. While not widely cultivated, some species may be found in botanical collections or used in traditional medicine in their native regions. Further research is ongoing to understand the full ecological role and potential applications of plants within the Onolla genus.
