Abrotanella Caespitosa
Abrotanella caespitosa is a member of the Asteraceae, daisy family and is an endemism, endemic species of the South Island of New Zealand. Description ''Abrotanella caespitosa'' forms a loose cushion habit (biology), habit with Runners (botany), runners that have distant scale leaves. It has narrower leaves compared to its close relatives and lacks a waxy Epicuticular wax, bloom on its leaves. Distribution and habitat The species is found in the South Island of New Zealand, with recorded populations in Southland Region, Southland (The Remarkables) and Otago (Rock and Pillar Range). It grows in alpine herbfield habitats. Taxonomy and evolution ''Abrotanella caespitosa'' is closely related to ''Abrotanella , A. inconspicua'', ''Abrotanella nivigena, A. nivigena'' (from Australia), and ''Abrotanella patearoa, A. patearoa''. These four species form a well-supported clade and have almost identical DNA sequences, suggesting they diverged within the last 500,000 year ...

Abrotanella Forsteroides
''Abrotanella forsteroides'', commonly known as the Tasmanian cushion plant, is an endemic angiosperm of Tasmania, Australia. The plant is a dicot species of the daisy family Asteraceae and can be identified by its bright green and compact cushion like appearance. The term cushion plant refers to a characteristic growth habit adopted by a variety of species and families growing in alpine and subalpine environments. The growth habit is an adaptation to low nutrient areas and typically involves deep tap roots and densely-packed stems, which decay to form a layer of peat under the plants. This dense growth pattern provides insulating properties to the plant, preventing root exposure to sub-zero temperatures, and forms a mat- or cushion-like structure. Description A herbaceous perennial, the plant is low growing, woody, compact and spreads in mat-like manner to 3m in diameter. The large mat is commonly interspersed with other cushion plant species such as ''Dracophyllum minim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Abrotanella Rosulata
''Abrotanella rosulata'' is a plant in the family Asteraceae, endemic to the Campbell Islands. Description Hooker describes it as "a small, densely tufted, moss-like herb", with stems that are high. The leaves overlap, and are recurved, rigid, and leathery. They are 1/4-1/3 in long, narrow ovate or lanceolate, acute, concave above. The flower heads are aggregated amongst the upper leaves and 1/10 in long. There are 8-10 involucral scales which are linear oblong, and leathery with translucent veins. The male flower has a four-angled corolla, and the angles are translucent. The female flower has a tubular corolla, and is four-toothed. The achene is four-angled. Taxonomy It was first described in 1844 as ''Ceratella rosulata'' by Joseph Dalton Hooker who found it in the Campbell Islands, "in crevices of rocks at the tops of the mountains, at an elevation of 1400 feet", but in 1864 he amended the genus to ''Abrotanella''. Conservation status In 2009 and 2012, it was declared ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Abrotanella Rostrata
''Abrotanella rostrata'' is a species of cushion plant belonging to the family Asteraceae. This tiny plant, only reaching 5 cm in height, is restricted to rocky places in the high mountains of southern South Island The South Island, also officially named , is the larger of the two major islands of New Zealand in surface area, the other being the smaller but more populous North Island.
