Galinsoga ciliata: An
originating-in-tropical-America annual found first in Tokyo in
1910-the 1920s and has spread in various districts since then. The
stems repeatedly bifurcate at intervals and grow to a height of
15-60cm. In an oval to oval-lanceolate shape, the leaves are
opposite, with shallow, wavy serrations on their margins. The upper
part's branch tips bear a small, 5mm-diameter flower head with five
white, ligulate flowers and numerous yellow, tubular flowers inside.
Involucres are hemispherical, and the involucral bracts and
peduncles have glandular hairs. Bloom time: June-November. |
