Leaf: simple, cauline, alternate or opposite (either +- 4-ranked) or whorled in 3s (6-ranked), linear or scale-, awl- or needle-like (sometimes linear and awl-like on 1 pl, or on juvenile or injured plants), generally decurrent, covering young stems. Pollen Cone: axillary or terminal. Seed Cone: +- fleshy to generally woody, generally hard at maturity; scales opposite or whorled, peltate or not. Seed: 1--many per scale, angled or lateral winged, generally wind-dispersed. Chromosomes: n=11. Genera In Family: 30 genera, 130+ species: +- worldwide, especially North America, Eurasia. Note: Incl (paraphyletic) Taxodiaceae. Taxa of (polyphyletic) Cupressus in TJM (1993) now in Callitropsis, Chamaecyparis, Hesperocyparis. eFlora Treatment Author: Jim A.

Habit: [Subshrub], shrub. Stem: generally many from base. Leaf: alternate, generally drought-deciduous, simple, petioled, entire or rarely toothed. Inflorescence: heads radiate or discoid, 1 or in panicle-like cluster; peduncle generally long; involucre hemispheric; phyllaries graduated in 2--4+ series, free; receptacle paleate, palea folded around and falling with fruit. Ray Flower: sterile; style 0; ray yellow. Disk Flower: many; corolla yellow or brown-purple, tube slender, throat abruptly expanded, lobes triangular; anther tip ovate, +- acute; style tips triangular. Fruit: strongly compressed, obovate or wedge-shaped; edges long-ciliate; faces glabrous or short-hairy; pappus of 2 narrow scales or 0. Etymology: (Christoph Entzelt, German naturalist, 1517--1583) Note: Commonly hybridizing, especially in disturbed areas; Encelia farinosa × Encelia frutescens is common; Encelia californica × Encelia farinosa, Encelia actoni × Encelia farinosa, Encelia actoni × Encelia frutescens, Encelia frutescens × Encelia virginensis, Encelia farinosa × Geraea canescens have been reported. eFlora Treatment Author: David J.

Encelia farinosa × Encelia frutescens
SPONTANEOUS HYBRID Habit: Shrub 5--12 dm with few to many branches from 1--several short trunks. Stem: branched along its length; young stem hairy; older with rough bark. Leaf: scattered along stem; petiole 5--15 mm; blade 1--5 cm, elliptic, lanceolate, or narrowly ovate, obtuse, gray-green, lightly tomentose with some strigose hairs. Inflorescence: heads radiate or sometimes discoid, 2--5 in loose panicle-like cluster; peduncles glabrous or strigose; involucre 5--12 mm; phyllaries lanceolate. Ray Flower: 1--11; ray 5--20 mm, deeply 3-lobed. Disk Flower: corolla 5--6 mm, yellow. Fruit: 5--8 mm; pappus 2 slender scales or 0. Chromosomes: 2n=36. Ecology: Roadsides, disturbed places, desert washes, flats; Elevation: < 800 m. Bioregional Distribution: D; Distribution Outside California: western Arizona, northern Baja California. Flowering Time: Feb--May Note: Hybrids and backcrosses commonly found with parent species. Often misidentified as Encelia virginensis. Jepson eFlora Author: David J.

MAP LEGEND View all CCH records All markers link to CCH specimen records. The original determination is shown in the popup window.
Blue markers indicate specimens that map to one of the expected Jepson geographic subdivisions (see left map). Purple markers indicate specimens collected from a garden, greenhouse, or other non-wild location.
Yellow markers indicate records that may provide evidence for eFlora range revision or may have georeferencing or identification issues.
