Verbesina Glabrata
''Verbesina'', many species of which have crownbeard as part of their common names, is a genus of flowering plants, in the family (biology), family Asteraceae. It is a large genus of about 350 species. All of the species bear white or yellow flowers similar to small sunflowers. The name ''Verbesina'' very likely refers to the similarity of the foliage to that of the (unrelated) ''Verbena.'' ''Verbesina'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species. These include ''Schinia bina'', which has been recorded from ''Verbesina encelioides, V. encelioides'', and ''Schinia siren'' which feeds exclusively on that species. Pollen grains from eight of the nine species of ''Verbesina'' found in Brazil have been characterized as oblate-spheroidal, medium-sized, isopolar monads. They are 3-colplorate with a subtriangular amb, a small polar area, a long colpus, a lalongate endoaperture, a caveate exine and an echinate sexine. Selected species * ''Verbesina alter ...

Verbesina Alternifolia
''Verbesina alternifolia'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is commonly known as wingstem or yellow ironweed. It is native to North America. The name "wingstem" refers to the Petiole (botany), petioles of the leaves, which run down the stem and form raised ridges or "wings" along it. The plant grows 3-8 feet tall with an unbranched stem until reaching the inflorescence at the very top. Its yellow flower heads, which bloom in late summer through early fall, are 1-2 inches wide and consist of up to 10 bright yellow ray florets that are angled downward, each bearing a notch at the end, as well as a spherical cluster of tubular yellow disk florets in the center. Ecology This plant grows in fertile, moist low-lying areas, such as near creeks and in open bottomland woods, usually not far from a body of water or woodland. The tubular disk florets in the center of every flower head attract long-tongued bees such as Bombus, bumblebees and butterflies, while be ...

Verbesina Mameana
''Verbesina mameana'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in Ecuador. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss or habitat reduction) occurs when a natural habitat is no longer able to support its native species. The organisms once living there have either moved elsewhere, or are dead, leading to a decrease .... In the late nineteenth-century a syndicated article appeared in local newspapers citing the American Agriculturalist and praising the ornamental value of its foliage: “A new plant of this class is Verbesina Mameana, of the great Composite family. It was discovered in his South American explorations by Hugo A.C. Poortman in 1883. Poortman's work had been commissioned by Édouard André, who named the new species in honor of M. Mame, one of the promoters of the expedition. It grows at an altitude of four to six thousand f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
