They are native to Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Turkey has a particularly high diversity of Gypsophila taxa, with about 35 endemic species. Some Gypsophila are introduced species in other regions.\nThe genus name is from the Greek gypsos (\"gypsum\") and philios (\"loving\"), a reference to the gypsum-rich substrates on which some species grow. Plants of the genus are known commonly as baby's-breath, or bebe's breath, a name which also refers specifically to the well known ornamental species Gypsophila paniculata.","gbif_id":3085251,"image_thumbnail":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/thumbnails/gypsophila_thumbnail_A1M9sEe.jpg","image_large":"https://treescape.app/media/plant_species/images/large/gypsophila_thumbnail_dc7OlYU.jpg"}
