Pericallis is a small genus of 15 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Canary Islands, Madeira and Azores. The genus includes herbaceous plants and small subshrubs. In the past, the genus was often included in either Cineraria or Senecio.

The florist's cineraria (Pericallis × hybrida) is a hybrid between P. cruenta and P. lanata.{{cite web | work=Plants of the World Online |title=Pericallis x hybrida (Bosse) B.Nord. |publisher=Royal botanic Gardens, Kew |url=https://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:1164364-2 |access-date=26 May 2023 }}
