Ursinia is a genus of African plants in the chamomile tribe within the daisy family.

[2][3][4] The genus is named in honor of German scholar Johannes Heinrich Ursinus 1608–1667.

This genus consists of annual or perrenial herbs and shrubs.

[5] The disc florets are bisexual, although those at the center may be sterile.

The achenes (small, dry fruits that contain a single seed) have five to ten ridges and are narrower towards the base.
