| Sumario: | A study was carried out to know some
characteristics related to the initial growth of
Chysolaena flexuosa, a native Asteraceae of
the Buenos Aires's "sierras". As it has colorful
and beautiful flowers, it has a great ornamental
potential value. Seeds from C. flexuosa where
collected from "Sierra La Barrosa" (Balcarce)
and used in this experiment, where the evolution
of specimens was analyzed in a greenhouse
during a season. C. flexuosa reproductive stage
started at spring and finished at the beginning of
autumn. In all the cases, during the middle stage,
the inflorescences of the plants showed heads
with violet flowers and heads with fruits (achene)
at the same time. At the beginning of autumn all
the plants had only heads with achenes showing
its white pappus, situation that gives the plants
another interesting attribute because their
inflorescences remain attractive even during
the fructification stage so they can be used for
make dried floral arrangements. Because of the
rusticity and beauty of this specie from spring to
autumn, C. flexuosa is presented as a promising
specie for obtain ornamental cultivars to use as
a specimen, in containers, in masses or as cut
material for bouquets. |
