Common name
Description
Senecio crassiflorus is not an upright herb, the silvery to white woolly 20 centimetres (7.9 in) to 50 centimetres (20 in) tall plant tends to "lay down and rest" on the dunes and sandy coastal areas it inhabits.
- Leaves
- Shaped like spatula with roundish, long, narrow, linear bases to having a broad rounded apex and a tapering base. Mostly 4 centimetres (1.6 in) to 8 centimetres (3.1 in) long, .6 centimetres (0.24 in) to 2 centimetres (0.79 in) wide. The edges are smooth or toothed towards apex and both surfaces woolly.
- Flowers
- Broadly bell shaped, woolly flower heads appear singly or a few together, 1 centimetre (0.39 in) to 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) in diameter.
- Seeds and reproduction
- Achenes .3 centimetres (0.12 in) to .5 centimetres (0.20 in); pappus 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long.[6]
- Reports claim S. crassiflorus does not produce viable seeds and spreads itself asexually or via vegetative reproduction.[5][7]
- Community species
- Colombian communities
- In a remote sensing project for rapid ecological evaluation, S. crassiflorus was found in Colombia inhabiting two areas that were evaluated.
