'''''Inula''''' is a large genus of about 90 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Asteraceae]], native to [[Europe]], [[Asia]] and [[Africa]]. It has been reported that this genus is [[paraphyletic]], based on chemical data of the [[phenol]]ic compounds of this genus.
These are mostly perennial herbs. The species vary greatly in size, from tiny species for rock gardens to enormous perennials reaching a height of over 3 metres. This genus shows equally a marked difference in the size of the leaves.
Some common characteristics include [[pappus]] with bristles, flat [[capitulum]], and lack of [[chaff]].
Several species are popular flowers for the garden, going back to antiquity. The name ''Inula'' was already used by the Romans.
