Aldama sodiroi 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. [1]

After molecular phylogenetic studies by botanists Schilling and Panero in 2011, showed that some species that were formerly classified in the genus Viguiera, were then transferred to genus Aldama . [4]

The specific epithet of sodiroi refers to Luis Sodiro (1836–1909), who was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist,who collected many plants in Ecuador. [5]

It is a perennial, herbaceous plant with a white, star-shaped flower with five petals and a yellow center. The seed is small, black, and round. [6]

It has been used in traditional medicine to treat fever, headache, and stomach ailments. It is also used as an ornamental plant in gardens. [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Luis Sodiro</span>

Luis Sodiro (1836–1909) was an Italian Jesuit priest and a field botanist from Vicenza who described a large number of species from the area around Quito, Ecuador in the early 20th century. He was perhaps the first person who collected in this region and he described at least 38 species from Esmeraldas, a region in Ecuador.

<i>Heliomeris</i> Genus of plants

Heliomeris is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, known generally as false goldeneyes.

<i>Aldama</i> (plant) Genus of flowering plants

Aldama is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The native range of this genus is tropical & sub-tropical America. The genus was originally described to include one species of subtribe Helianthinae that were characterized by having pales that tightly enclosed the cypselae (achenes).

Rhysolepis was a genus of Mexican plants in the tribe Heliantheae within the family Asteraceae. Until 2011, when botanists Schilling & Panero studied the subtribe Helianthinae based on molecular sequences of nuclear ITS, ETS, and cpDNA, coming to a conclusion that that the genus ViguieraKunth, did not constitute a monophyletic group. Among their conclusions they proposed to reclassify the genus, dividing and relocating its species in at least eleven genera: AldamaLa Llave, BahiopsisKellogg, Calanticaria(B.L. Rob. & Greenm.) E.E.
