Echium rosulatum is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. It is endemic to the western Iberian Peninsula in Portugal, Galicia (Spain) and the Sierra Morena. [1] It favors acidic and somewhat nitrified soil. It has two subspecies, one native to mainland Iberia and the other one (subsp. davaei) native to the Berlengas archipelago. [2]

Description

Echium rosulatum is a perennial and generally multi-stemmed plant with decumbent or ascending stems. Leaves are partly to fully sericeous with scant indumentum, few setae and short hairs. The basal leaves are elliptic or oblanceolate, they form a rosette and have a slightly marked petiole. The stem leaves range from oblong or elliptic in the middle, to narrowly ovate or ovate-lanceolate in the upper portion. [2]

Inflorescence

The inflorescence is panicled, loose, with cymes around 13 cm (up to 18 cm (5.1 to 7.1 in)) when fruiting. Flowers are zygomorphic. The bracts are ovate-lanceolate and are longer than the calyx. The funnel-shaped corolla is 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) long (up to 30 mm) and is covered in small hairs in almost all its surface, with some longer hairs on the nerves. Three to four stamens (two in certain cases) are exerted from the corolla. The stamens' filaments are whitish and sparsely hairy. At least two of the ovoid, bluish-brown anthers are exerted. The style is hairy and longer than the corolla. [2]

<i>Eurybia divaricata</i> North American species of flowering plant

Eurybia divaricata, commonly known as the white wood aster, is an herbaceous plant native to eastern North America. It occurs in the eastern United States, primarily in the Appalachian Mountains, though it is also present in southeastern Canada, but only in about 25 populations in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. In the U.S. it is abundant and common, but in Canada it is considered threatened due to its restricted distribution. It can be found in dry open woods as well as along wood-edges and clearings. The species is distinguished by its flower heads that have yellow centers and white rays that are arranged in flat-topped corymbiform arrays, emerging in the late summer through fall. Other distinguishing characteristics include its serpentine stems and sharply serrated narrow heart-shaped leaves. The white wood aster is sometimes used in cultivation in both North America and Europe due to it being quite tough and for its showy flowers.

<i>Eurybia</i> (plant) Genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae

Eurybia is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae that were previously included in the genus Aster. Most species are native to North America, although one is also present in northern Eurasia. There are 23 species in the genus, including 1 natural hybrid. The name was first applied by Alexandre de Cassini in 1820. The name is derived from Ancient Greek εὐρύς (eurús), meaning "wide", and βαιός (baiós), meaning "few", perhaps in reference to the small number of relatively wide ray florets.

<i>Mimulus alatus</i> Species of flowering plant

Mimulus alatus, the sharpwing monkeyflower, is an herbaceous eudicot perennial that has no floral scent. It is native to North America and its blooming season is from June to September. The flowering plant has green foliage and blue to violet flowers. It has a short life span compared to most other plants and a rapid growth rate. Like other monkey-flowers of the genus Mimulus, M. alatus grows best in wet to moist conditions and has a bilabiate corolla, meaning it is two-lipped. The arrangement of the upper and lower lip petals suggests a monkey’s face. The winged stems together with the monkey face give the plant its common name.
