In the past, the genus was commonly viewed in a broader sense including a number of species from the Canary Islands and Madeira which are now transferred to the genus Pericallis, including the Florist's Cineraria (Pericallis x hybrida).

The uses for Cineraria include topical application for the treatment of cataracts.^{[citation needed]}
