Verbesina rivetii | |
Verbesina rivetii is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in Ecuador. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.
The tropical and subtropical dry forest is a habitat type defined by the World Wide Fund for Nature and is located at tropical and subtropical latitudes. Though these forests occur in climates that are warm year-round, and may receive several hundred centimeters of rain per year, they have long dry seasons which last several months and vary with geographic location. These seasonal droughts have great impact on all living things in the forest.

It is threatened by habitat loss. In the late nineteenth-century a syndicated article appeared in local newspapers citing the American Agriculturalist and praising the ornamental value of its foliage: “A new plant of this class is Verbesina Mameana, of the great Composite family. It was discovered in his South American explorations by Hugo A.C. Poortman in 1883. Poortman's work had been commissioned by Édouard André, who named the new species in honor of M. Mame, one of the promoters of the expedition. It grows at an altitude of four to six thousand feet, in a temperate climate. We have several native species of Verbesina; two of them in the Atlantic States, popularly known as Crownbeard; they grow six feet high, but are coarse and weedy.”
