Leptinella
''Leptinella'' is a genus of alpine flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, comprising 33 species, distributed in New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America. Many of the species are endemic to New Zealand. For over 100 years, ''Leptinella'' species were considered part of the genus ''Cotula'', but the genus ''Leptinella'' was reinstated by Lloyd & Webb in 1987. They determined that all species of ''Leptinella'' are distinguished from those of the other two sections of ''Cotula'', and other Anthemideae, by the conspicuous "inflated" corollas of the female florets and by chromosome numbers based on x = 26 where known. ''Leptinella squalida'' 'Platt's Black' is a form cultivated as a garden plant, and is used for ground cover Groundcover or ground cover is any plant that grows over an area of ground. Groundcover provides protection of the topsoil from erosion and drought. In an ecosystem, the ground cover forms the layer of vegetation below the shru ...

Leptinella Filiformis
''Leptinella filiformis'', or slender button daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family, found only in the north-eastern part of the South Island of New Zealand. Thought to be extinct by the 1980s, it was rediscovered growing on a Hanmer Springs hotel lawn in 1998, and in the wild in 2015. Description A creeping perennial, ''L. filiformis'' forms a low mat, spreading indefinitely via thin rhizomes on the soil surface. It has small green or brown feathery leaves, up to long. Its flowers are small () white button-shaped inflorescences on thin stalks. Taxonomy This species was collected by Julius von Haast in 1862 on the Canterbury Plains, "among grass", and sent to Joseph Dalton Hooker, who in 1864 named it ''Cotula filiformis''. David Lloyd, when revising ''Cotula'', initially retained this species, then later transferred it into ''Leptinella'' when that taxon was elevated to a genus. The genus name ''Leptinella'', from the Greek ''leptos'' or thin, refers to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
