Die etwa 13 Arten gedeihen im subtropisch-mediterranen Klima Westeuropas und Nordafrikas, einige Arten kommen im warm-gemäßigten Klima Mitteleuropas vor. Das Zentrum der Artenvielfalt liegt im westlichen Mittelmeerraum, vor allem auf der Iberischen Halbinsel. Teilweise wird noch die Synonym-Bezeichnung Xolantha Raf.verwendet.

Tuberaria is a genus of about 12 species of annual or perennial plants in the rockrose family Cistaceae, native to western and southern Europe. They occur on dry, stony sites, often close to the sea.

The leaves are in a rosette at the base of the plant, and then in opposite pairs up the stem; they are simple oval, 2–5 cm long and 1–2 cm broad. The flowers are 2–5 cm diameter, with five petals, yellow with a red spot at the base of each petal, the red spot acting as a 'target' for pollinating insects.
