'''''Francoa''''' is a [[genus]] of the [[Francoaceae]] [[family (biology)|family]] which consists of [[herb]]s endemic to [[Chile]]. Plants may grow up to one metre high and produce basal clumps of round, deeply lobed, dark green, fuzzy leaves with winged leafstalks. Compact [[raceme]]s of small, cup-shaped flowers, which are pink with red markings, appear in summer and early fall.
