stabdantis

Stabdantis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, commonly known as the daisy family. The genus is native to South America. Species within Stabdantis are herbaceous perennials. They typically feature daisy-like flower heads with ray florets and disc florets. The leaves are often toothed or lobed.

The exact taxonomic classification of Stabdantis has seen some revision over time, with some species formerly placed in this genus now being assigned to other genera. However, Stabdantis remains a recognized group of plants. The exact number of species included can vary depending on the taxonomic authority.

Stabdantis species are generally found in arid or semi-arid regions. They are adapted to these environments with features that help them conserve water. Their ecological role often involves providing food and habitat for local fauna. Cultivation of Stabdantis outside its native range is not widespread, and it is not commonly grown as an ornamental plant. Further research continues to clarify the evolutionary relationships and specific characteristics of the plants within this genus.
