👉 Clypearia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia, Europe, and North Africa. They are commonly known as "buttercup" or "earl's petticochoids." These plants produce small flowers with yellow petals that can be either white or pink, and they have an interesting habit of growing on the tops of trees, which is why their common name suggests a flower-like structure resembling a buttercup.
