Lessingia Pectinata
''Lessingia'' is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae which are native to western North America. Several species are endemic to California. ''Lessingias'' are generally daisy-like in appearance with white, yellow, or purple flowers, but they vary in appearance. Some lessingias are sometimes treated as members of different genera, such as ''Benitoa''. The San Francisco lessingia, '' Lessingia germanorum'', is an endangered species. ; Species * '' Lessingia arachnoidea'' - Crystal Springs lessingia - California (Sonoma, San Mateo, Santa Cruz Cos) * '' Lessingia germanorum'' - San Francisco lessingia - California (San Mateo Co) * ''Lessingia glandulifera'' - valley lessingia - California, Arizona, Nevada * '' Lessingia hololeuca'' - woollyhead lessingia - California (from Yolo + Sonoma Cos to Monterey Co) * '' Lessingia lemmonii'' - Lemmon's lessingia - Arizona, California * ''Lessingia leptoclada'' - Sierra lessingia - California (from Plumas Co to Los Angeles Co) * ''Lessing ...

Lessingia Leptoclada
''Lessingia leptoclada'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name sierra lessingia. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada (U.S.), Sierra Nevada of California, where it is known from several types of local habitat. This is a slender Annual plant, annual Herbaceous plant, herb growing erect and varying in size from just a few centimeters to nearly a meter tall, with long, spreading branches. It is very glandular and often hairy or woolly in texture. The upper leaves are up to 5 centimeters long, narrow and sometimes toothed or lobed; the lower leaves are longer and wither early. The Head (botany), flower heads appear singly or in small clusters. Each head is lined with woolly bract, phyllaries. The head is discoid, containing no ray florets but many funnel-shaped pinkish, lavender, or light bluish-purple disc florets with large lobes. The fruit is an achene with a whitish Pappus (flower structure), pappus of bristles. External linksJepson Manual ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Asteraceae Genera
The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in the year 1740. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of extant species in each family is unknown. Most species of Asteraceae are annual, biennial, or perennial herbaceous plants, but there are also shrubs, vines, and trees. The family has a widespread distribution, from subpolar to tropical regions in a wide variety of habitats. Most occur in hot desert and cold or hot semi-desert climates, and they are found on every continent but Antarctica. The primary common characteristic is the existence of sometimes hundreds of tiny individual florets which are held together by protective involucres in flower heads, or more technically ...

Vernonia
''Vernonia'' is a genus of about 350 species of forbs and shrubs in the Daisy family Asteraceae. Some species are known as ironweed. Some species are edible and of economic value. They are known for having intense purple flowers. There have been numerous distinct subgenera and subsections named in this genus, and some botanists have divided the genus into several distinct genera. For instance, the ''Flora of North America'' recognizes only about twenty species in ''Vernonia'' ''sensu stricto'', seventeen of which are in North America north of Mexico, with the others being found in South America. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber in Gen. Pl. ed. 8 vol.2 on page 541 in 1791. The genus name of ''Vernonia'' is in honour of William Vernon (1666/67 - ca.1711), who was an English plant collector, ( bryologist) and entomologist from Cambridge University, who collected in Maryland, USA in 1698.

Corethrogyne
''Corethrogyne'' is a monotypic genus of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Its only species is ''Corethrogyne filaginifolia'' (syn. ''Lessingia filaginifolia''), known by the common names common sandaster and California aster. Description ''Corethrogyne filaginifolia'' is a robust perennial herb or subshrub producing a simple to multibranched stem approaching in maximum length or height. The densely woolly leaves are several centimeters long and toothed or lobed low on the stem and smaller farther up the stem. The inflorescence is a single flower head or array of several heads at the tips of stem branches. The head is lined with narrow, pointed, purple-tipped phyllaries which curl back as the head matures. Inside are many purple, lavender, pink, or white ray florets and a center packed with up to 120 tubular yellow disc florets. The fruit is an achene with a pappus of reddish bristles on top.

Artemisia (genus)
''Artemisia'' () is a large, diverse genus of plants with between 200 and 400 species belonging to the daisy family Asteraceae. Common names for various species in the genus include mugwort, wormwood, and sagebrush. ''Artemisia'' comprises hardy herbaceous plants and shrubs, which are known for the powerful chemical constituents in their essential oils. ''Artemisia'' species grow in temperate climates of both hemispheres, usually in dry or semiarid habitats. Notable species include '' A. vulgaris'' (common mugwort), '' A. tridentata'' (big sagebrush), '' A. annua'' (sagewort), '' A. absinthium'' (wormwood), ''A. dracunculus'' (tarragon), and '' A. abrotanum'' (southernwood). The leaves of many species are covered with white hairs. Most species have strong aromas and bitter tastes from terpenoids and sesquiterpene lactones, which discourage herbivory, and may have had a selective advantage. The small flowers are wind-pollinated. ''Artemisia'' species are used ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
