Chrysocephalum Semipapposum , обычно известный как кластерный вечный, является многолетним кустарником, уроженцем Австралии. Кластерная вечная принадлежит семейству Asteraceae . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] C. Semipapposum производит терминальные цветы головы в кластерах, в основном между весной и началом лета [ 4 ] с серебряными серими, появляющимися стебли и ветви. Он вырос до 40 см высотой и высотой 60 см, хотя были некоторые разновидности, которые могут вырасти до 1 м. C. Semipapposum часто путают с chrysocephalum apiculatum или «желтыми кнопками» из -за их аналогичных явлений. C. Semipapposum имеет 4 различных подвида, однако им не хватает отличительных качеств, и их часто трудно идентифицировать. C. Semipapposum является эндемичным для Австралии и может быть найден в нескольких штатах, особенно в Виктории. Растение встречается в различных местах обитания, включая сухие скалистые регионы. [ 4 ] Кластерное вечное часто растет редко и редко встречается в изобилии и может быть принята за сорняки. Кластерное вечное имеет много применений, в том числе в качестве источника нектара для бабочек, нарезанных цветов или в качестве дополнения к саду.
Описание
[ редактировать ]Chrysocephalum semipapposum является многолетним [ 5 ] [ 6 ] травяной куст, [ 5 ] which is highly variable.[7] Generally, the erect shrub is 15–60 cm high, and is sprawling in nature, with its width up to 40 cm.[5] Despite this general 60 cm height cap, there have been forms of Chrysocephalum semipapposum found up to 1 metre tall.[7] Chrysocephalum semipapposum can be sometimes mistaken for a weed.[6]
Morphology
[edit]Inflorescence
[edit]The floral display of the Chrysocephalum semipapposum is a corymb,[7] or a cluster of flowers that form a flat head[8] and can be up to 10 cm in diameter.[7] The corymb of the Chrysocephalum semipapposum contains 70 capitula,[7] or flowering shoots which gives the appearance of a single flower.[9] The colour of the capitula can occur from a lemon shade to a common orange shade.[7] These flower heads are compact clusters[4] and are surrounded by bracts. Bracts are an adapted leaf which surrounds the flower[10] with a woolly grey appearance.[4]
Stems
[edit]These corymbs are found on leafy branches,[4] which give a silver-grey appearance.[7] This appearance is due to silky glandular hairs which covers the stems and foliage of Chrysocephalum semipapposum.[7] The slender and erect[11] stems grow from the base of the plant.[12] The leaves are linear in shape[4][7] and are 0.2–5 cm long and 1-2mm wide.[4] The leaves decrease in size towards the tip of the stem[7] and can end in a sharp or a long, drawn-out point. The leaves are flat and are denser towards to bottom of the plant.[4] The upright stems grow from the base of the plant.[12]
Fruit
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum produces a fruit or achene which does not have to open to bear its seeds.[4] This fruit is found within the dried-out flower heads, and many fruits grow within each flower head.[13] The fruits have pappus bristles, which appear as a feathery attachment.[4][13] The fruit is white and yellow.[4] Chrysocephalum semipapposum has both bisexual and female flowers[4]
Rhizomes
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum is a rhizomatous herb.[11] A rhizome is a usually horizontal underground stem.[14] The rhizome produces shoots, which grow from the top of the stem.[15] Rhizomes are different from the roots of a plant. They can be distinguished through the appearance of buds and nodes on rhizomes.[15] Rhizomes can produce roots, which occur on the bottom of the horizontal subterranean stems.[15] Rhizomes can live for several years and persist in the soil after they die.[16]
Chrysocephalum apiculatum similarities
[edit]
Chrysocephalum apiculatum is similar in appearance to the Chrysocephalum semipapposum. The common names of these plants are often used interchangeably in both professional and recreational settings.[6][11] The inflorescence, or flower, of Chrysocephalum semipapposum is similar in physical appearance to Chrysocephalum apiculatum which causes confusion when identifying the plant. However, Chrysocephalum apiculatum is a taller plant[6] and has the possibility to be single stemmed or multi-stemmed, where Chrysocephalum semipapposum is only multi-stemmed.[11] C. apiculatum may also have a loose to compact flowerhead, where C. semipapposum has compact flowerhead.[11] Chrysocephalum apiculatum is distributed across all Australian states.[17] C. apiculatum also has numerous named subspecies.[11] These factors could attribute to the higher notability of C. apiculatum than C. semipapposum.
Taxonomy
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum[18] is a part of the Asteraceae family, commonly known as daisies, under the Chrysocephalum genus.[4][6][19] The Asteraceae family is classified through the following characteristics. The family is made up of shrubs or herbaceous plants.[20] The plants may be annual or perennial[20][21] and the flower heads contain complicated inflorescence which are surrounded by bracts.[20][21]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum is a part of the Gnaphalieae tribe, which is one of the larger tribes within the Asteraceae family.[11][22] This tribe has a long history of taxonomic changes, resulting in many taxonomic changes for Chrysocephalum semipapposum.[23][22]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum is formerly known as Helichrysum semipapposum.[6][11] Helichrysum was historically very broad and included a wide range of plant species.[24] The wide defining characteristics made the genus polyphyletic.[24] A polyphyletic genus refers to a group of organisms which are derived from more than one ancestor and are not suitable to be placed in the same taxon.[25] The Helichrysum genus has been reassessed by botanist Arne Anderberg to apply to African and Eurasian plants.[6][24] Similar Australian plants have been reclassified to the Chrysocephalum genus.[6]
The word chrysocephalum derives from Greek origins. Chryso translates to golden, and cephalus translates to headed,[17][26] referring to the appearance of the compact flowers.
Variation
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum has 5 subspecies.[11][19][27] These subspecies are determined by both morphological features or physical attributes and location in which these varieties are found.[11] C. semipapposum has historically been taxonomically difficult[19] and the subspecies have similar variations which cause overlap. Because of these similar attributes, the subspecies are broad based and do not have specific infraspecific or scientific names.[11]
Subspecies
[edit]The subspecies of C. semipapposum have been defined by Paul G. Wilson.[11] Wilson has made significant contributions in botanical taxonomy.[28] His work is accepted by the International Plant Names Index and has botanical authority.[18]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. semipapposum
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. semipapposum is an aromatic perennial herb.[11] This sub-species has sericeous stems, or stems which are covered in fine hair.[11] The leaves are narrow and evenly spread along these stems.[11] This variety is found in New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.[11]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. lineare
[edit]This variety grows up to 80 cm high, with slender stems and narrow or linear leaves.[11] This sub-species is generally woolly all over.[11] It can also either have no bristles or have one bristle on the female florets.[11] This subspecies is found in southern Eastern New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.[11][29] Occurs in numerous habitats.[11] Growth cycle: December to February.[11] This sub-species has substantial variation.[11] Due to this variation the sub-species has overlap with both subsp. semipapposum and subsp. asperum.[11]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. brevifolium
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. brevifolium grows up to 50 cm high.[11] It has slender sparsely cottony stems with thick but narrow leaves 2–3 cm long at the top of the plant and 2–6 cm long at the base of the plant.[11] The female florets generally have five bristles.[11] This subspecies is found in eastern New South Wales, central and south-eastern South Australia, and central and eastern Victoria.[11][30]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. asperum
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. asperum grows up to 90 cm high.[11] The stems have minimal hair, and the leaves grow up to 7 cm long.[11] This subspecies occurs in eastern New South Wales, eastern Victoria, south-east Queensland and north-eastern Tasmania.[11][31]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum subsp. occidentale
[edit]This subspecies has been found to grow from 40 to 120 cm high with slender erect stems and cottony leaves which are scattered along the stems.[11] This subspecies is found in south-western Western Australia.[11][32]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Chrysocephalum semipapposum is a native shrub to Australia.[19] C. semipapposum varieties have been found in most Australian states, including New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania however C. semipapposum has been most notably found within Victoria.[5][6][11][19][33]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum occurs in a variety of habitats.[5] These habitats include woodland hills,[34] grassland hills, mountains or isolated rocky rises.[4] They are rarely found in large groups and are most commonly found as scattered individual shrubs.[6] C. semipapposum can grow in a variety of soils and is a tough plant which can withstand drought.[6]
Ecology
[edit]The flowering season of C. semipapposum occurs from September until December, mainly throughout spring and summer.[7][12][19] C. semipapposum is a tough shrub[33] and natural disturbances, such as fires promote growth and flowering.[19] The nectar produced by the clustered everlasting flowers are a source of food for butterflies.[6] The plant itself is minimally used as a food option for grazing animals.[12] Chrysocephalum semipapposum will only be eaten as a last resort, when there are limited food sources available.[12]
Growth may be impacted by lower light, producing leggy growth. The growth can also be impacted by the invasion of non-native plants.[5]
Chrysocephalum semipapposum was found to inhibit the process of nitrification in the rhizosphere, when compared to non-rhizosphere soil.[35] The rhizosphere is the soil surrounding the plants roots.[36] Nitrification is the process which transforms the compound ammonium, which is relatively soil bound, into nitrate.[35][37] Nitrate is more mobile, and has the ability to get lost in the surrounding environment.[35] Nitrification can cause negative impacts on the environment.[38] High levels of nitrogen in the environment can cause toxic algae blooms, biodiversity loss and can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.[39] Nitrification can also lose up to 50% of nitrogen for the plant.[39] This compound is very important in the creation of plant proteins and stimulating growth within the plant.[35] The rhizosphere has a great impact to the plants ability to take in nutrients, which is integral to the health and growth of the plant.[36][35] The ability of C. semipapposum to inhibit the process of nitrification is closely related to the lower amount of ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) found in the rhizosphere.[35] Further research is needed to evaluate the exact mechanisms found in C. semipapposum which contribute to the inhibition of nitrification.[35]
Uses
[edit]The toughness[33] of the clustered everlasting allows it to be used as a ground-covering in residential gardens.[12][33] Clustered everlasting can also be used to keep weeds out.[33] It is easy to care for due to its drought tolerance and frost resistance.[6][12] Growing conditions include part shade to full sun, and a dry or well-drained soil.[33][12] It can handle heavy clay, loam or sand based soils.[40][41] If dried out, regular pruning down to the base of the stem can promote growth in the next season.[12]
The seed viability for C. semipapposum is higher or equal to 80%,[5] and can also be easily propagated.[12] Propagation can occur through taking cuttings of a pre-existing plant and placing them within a mist bed.[7] Germination can occur under both light, part shade and dark conditions.[5] However, lower light availability may produce thin and underdeveloped seedlings and leggy growth.[5] Germination may also be impacted by insect activity[12] Germination time ranges from 2–4 weeks.[41]
Clustered everlasting can also be used as a cut flower in floral arrangements.[7] Clustered everlasting has a vase life of 7–14 days[7] making it ideal as a flower filler. The bright yellow flowers will also complement the flower market.[42] C. Semipapposum can also be used in dried floral arrangements.[42]
