Flaveria mcdougallii M. E. Theroux, D. J. Pinkava & D. J. Keil

Comments ( anglais )

Flaveria mcdougallii is known only from four locations near shaded alkaline seeps and springs close to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon of northern Arizona. Delimiting characteristics of F. mcdougallii include linear leaves with entire margins, pappi of crowns of scales, and the distribution. Morphologic character differences and experimental hybridization studies suggest that F. mcdougallii could well be assigned to a separate, monotypic genus.

Flaveria mcdougallii ( anglais )

fourni par wikipedia EN

Flaveria mcdougallii is a very rare North American plant species of Flaveria within the family Asteraceae. It has been found in 4 locations in the Grand Canyon in northwestern Arizona in the southwestern United States, in Mohave County and Coconino County. Many of the populations lie inside Grand Canyon National Park, others within the Hualapai Indian Reservation.[2][3][4][5]

Flaveria mcdougallii grows primarily near alkaline springs and springs along the Colorado River. It is a hairless subshrub up to 50 cm (20 in) tall. One plant can sometimes produce 200 or more small yellow flower heads in a flat-topped cluster. Each head contains 2–6 disc flowers but no ray flowers.[3][6][7]
