Golden delicious

From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Golden Buttons are a common name for several species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The name is most commonly used to refer to species in the genus Cotula, particularly Cotula coronopifolia, but can also refer to species in the genera Ranunculus and Chrysanthemum.

Description[edit | edit source]

Golden Buttons are small, perennial plants that typically grow to a height of 10-30 cm. They have feathery, finely divided leaves and produce small, yellow, button-like flowers. The flowers are typically 1-2 cm in diameter and consist of a central disc of tiny, tubular florets surrounded by a ring of ray florets.

Distribution and Habitat[edit | edit source]

Golden Buttons are native to many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. They are typically found in damp, marshy areas, such as riverbanks and wet meadows, but can also grow in drier habitats.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Golden Buttons have been used in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. They are also used in horticulture as ground cover plants due to their low-growing habit and attractive flowers.

Conservation Status[edit | edit source]

While some species of Golden Buttons are common and widespread, others are threatened by habitat loss and degradation. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these species and their habitats.
