The genus is native to southern Europe . It is closely related to the genera Linaria and Antirrhinum , differing in having creeping growth and flower s borne singly rather than in dense erect spikes. The common name toadflax is shared with Linaria and other related genera. The scientific name means resembling a cymbal for the somewhat rounded leaves. By far the best known species is Cymbalaria muralis also called Ivy leaved toadflax, and Kenilworth Ivy , native to southwest Europe. It has widely naturalised elsewhere and is commonly sold as a garden plant. C. muralis characteristically grows in sheltered crevices in walls and pathways, or in rocks and scree, making a trailing or scrambling plant up to 1 m long.

It is native to much of Eurasia and parts of North and South America, where it grows in many types of habitat, especially in moist to wet areas such as marsh es, bog s, and moist spring meadows. It is a perennial herb producing several stems a few centimeters to nearly 40 centimeters long. Some are prostrate against the ground and are stolon s which root in moist substrate, and some are erect. The leaves are variable in shape, the basal ones with notched or slightly divided leaf blades borne on long Petiole botany petioles , and any upper leaves much reduced in size. The inflorescence bears one or more flowers on erect stalks. The flower has five to eight pale yellow petals, each under a centimeter long. The protruding receptacle at the center of the flower becomes a cylindrical cluster of fruits, each of which is an achene .
