A genus of plants in the daisy family, commonly known as ox-eye or false sunflower, with yellow flowers.
From Greek 'bous' (ox) plus 'ophthalmos' (eye), naming the plant for its large ox-like yellow flowers that resemble an ox's eye.
Ancient botanists named entire plant families based on how the flowers looked—ox-eye flowers were named because their large yellow centers looked like a bull's eye!
