Chaptalia nutans is a species of plant in the Asteraceae family native to tropical and subtropical America. [1] It is the most common species of its genus. [2]
Chaptalia nutans is a terrestrial herb [3] with a short primary root and fibrous lateral roots. [4] The small stem produces sessile, hairy leaves. [5]
The peduncles 10–60 cm long. The nodding capitulum has 150-320 florets. [2] The pappus is cream-coloured. [3]
The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 48. [6]
In Brazil, flowering and fruiting occurs in October to January, when the dry season is coming to an end. [6]
It occurs in warm and humid habitats in shade, [2] and may also be found in habitats experiencing seasonal droughts. [6]
It was first published as Tussilago nutansL. by Carl Linnaeus in 1759. It was transferred to the genus ChaptaliaVent. as Chaptalia nutans(L.) Pol. by Hellmuth Polakowski (1847–1917) in 1878. [1] [7]
