A genus of small weedy plants of the daisy family, characterized by woolly leaves and tiny flowers; also called cudweed.
From Latin filum (thread) + ago (drive/act), describing the thread-like appearance of the plant's structure. Scientific Latin binomial naming convention.
Filago plants are so tiny and humble that nobody notices them, but their name perfectly captures their appearance — they look like little threads pretending to be plants, which is exactly what their Latin name says.
