Gerbera is a genus of plants Asteraceae. It was named in honour of German botanist and medical doctor Traugott Gerber who travelled extensively in Russia and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus.

Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America Africa and Asia. The first scientific description made by J.D. Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he described jamesonii a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton Daisy. Gerbera is also commonly known as the African Daisy.

Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking two-lipped ray florets in yellow orange white pink or red colours. The capitulum which has the appearance of a single flower is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm in diameter or up to 12 cm.

Gerbera is very popular and widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. The domesticated cultivars are mostly a result of a cross between jamesonii and another South African species viridifolia. The cross is known as hybrida. Thousands of cultivars exist. They vary greatly in shape and size. Colours include white yellow orange red and pink. The centre of the flower is sometimes black. Often the same flower can have petals of several different colours.

Gerbera is also important commercially. It is the fifth most used cut flower in the world. It is also used as a model organism in studying flower formation.

Gerbera contains naturally occurring coumarin derivatives. Gerbera is a tender perennial plant. It is attractive to bees butterflies and/or birds, but resistant to deer. Their soil should be kept moist but not soaked.
