Erigeron karvinskianus, the Mexican fleabane,[3] is a species of daisy-like flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to Mexico and parts of Central America.
Other common names include Latin American fleabane,[4]Santa Barbara daisy, Spanish daisy, Karwinsky's fleabane,[5] or bony-tip fleabane.[6]
Description
It is a vigorous, spreading perennial plant growing from woody rhizomes to a maximum height of 15 cm (5.9 in). Its leaves are located along the stem, the basal leaves dying off as the plant bolts. They are sometimes slightly toothed or lobed near the tips. The inflorescences hold one or more flower heads which are each about 1 cm (0.4 inches) wide. They have golden yellow disc florets in the center surrounded by a fringe of up to 80 white to pinkish ray florets.[5]
Erigeron karvinskianus is native to much of Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Venezuela.[8][9][10] and is naturalized in many other places,[11] including parts of Africa and Europe,[12] Australia,[6] Hong Kong,[13] Chile and the west coast of the United States.[14]
