Gypsophila is a genus of about 100 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to Europe, Asia and north Africa. Many species are found on calcium-rich soils, including gypsum, hence the name of the genus. Its botanical name means "lover of chalk", which is accurate in describing the type of soil in which this plant grows. G. paniculata (baby's breath or just gyp in the floristry trade) is well-known for its airy, cloud-like panicles of tiny white flowers, much used in flower arranging.
