Astartoseris is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. It only contains one known species, Astartoseris triquetra. [2]
It is native to Cyprus, Lebanon and Syria. [2]
The genus name of Astartoseris is in honour of Astarte, the Hellenized form of the Ancient Near Eastern goddess Ashtart or Athtart ( Northwest Semitic), a deity closely related to Ishtar ( East Semitic), worshipped from the Bronze Age through classical antiquity. [3] The Latin specific epithet of triquetra means three cornered. [4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Willdenowia Vol.47 on page 120 in 2017. [2] [1]
