Inula is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. These plants are typically herbaceous perennials and can be found in various regions across Europe, Asia, and Africa. Inula species are known for their bright yellow flowers, which often have a daisy-like appearance with a central disc surrounded by numerous ray florets. The leaves are usually lance-shaped and can be either toothed or smooth-edged. Inula plants are often used in traditional medicine for their purported therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. They are also popular in gardens and landscapes for their vibrant blooms and ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
