• Andryala — A genus of herbaceous perennial or annual plants in the daisy family Asteraceae (Compositae), native primarily to the Mediterranean region, Macaronezia, and southern Europe. This structural botanical entity is characterized by erect stems, leaves often covered with dense, woolly or villous tomentose hairs that reduce water loss, and flower heads (capitula) containing yellow ligulate florets.
• Andryala agardhii — A species of small perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Andryala, family Asteraceae, endemic to the high-mountain regions of southern Spain (notably the limestone ranges of Andalusia, such as Sierra Nevada). This rare alpine botanical entity is structurally distinguished by forming compact basal rosettes and densely tomentose silvery leaves.
• Aposeris — A genus of perennial herbaceous plants in the family Asteraceae (Compositae), subtribe Cichorieae, represented in the spontaneous flora of Central and Eastern Europe primarily by the species Aposeris foetida (stinking cress). It is characterized by basal rosettes of deeply pinnatisect leaves, leafless scapose flowering stems, solitary capitula of yellow ligulate florets, and the emission of an unpleasant, fetid odor upon the crushing of vegetative tissues.
