Microseris
''Microseris'' is a genus of plants in the tribe Cichorieae within the family Asteraceae, plants that often called composites. They are native to North America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand. Plants in the genus can either be annuals or perennials. Perennial plants in ''Microseris'' usually have a taproot or a caudex with the exception of ''Microseris borealis'', which is rhizomatous. The leaves are mostly or entirely basal, growing very near the surface of the soil rather than being held on stems above ground level. When blooming the flowers are alone on the top of stems and are held upright when blooming and when producing seeds. The flowers are shades of orange or yellow with a superficial resemblance to dandelions. There is currently disagreement about which species should be placed in ''Microseris''. Plants of the World Online (POWO) synonymizes genus '' Nothocalais'' into ''Microseris''. While the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service PLANTS databa ...

They are found primarily in temperate regions of the Eastern Hemisphere. Cichorieae all have milky latex and flowerheads that only contain one type of floret. The genera '' Gundelia'' and '' Warionia'' only have disk florets, while all other genera only have ligulate florets. The genera that contain most species are ''Taraxacum'' (Crepidinae subtribe) with about 1,600 apomictic species, '' Hieracium'' with about 770 sexually reproducing and 5,200 apomictic species, and '' Pilosella'' with 110 sexually reproducing and 700 apomictic species (both Hieraciinae). Well-known members include lettuce, chicory, dandelion, and salsify. Description Most species are herbaceous, perennial, short-lived or annual plants, rarely subshrubs, shrubs or vines.
