False Daisy, Yerba de Tajo
Eclipta prostrata (syn. Eclipta alba) commonly known as false daisy, yerba de tago, and bhringraj, is a species of plant in the family Asteraceae.[+]
Eclipta prostrata, also known as false daisy, is a herbaceous annual plant native to tropical and subtropical regions. In Qatar, it has been found growing in wetlands, roadsides, and other disturbed areas. Studies have reported its presence in various parts of the country, including Al Wakra, Doha, and the northern regions. The plant's ability to thrive in Qatar's arid environment suggests its adaptability and potential as an invasive species. Local research has also explored its traditional medicinal uses and potential phytochemical properties.
