Archidasyphyllum diacanthoides (Less.) P.L.Ferreira, Saavedra & Groppo. - beginning of wind-dispersal of pappus-tufted ripe fruits.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A ripe infructescence of Archidasyphyllum diacanthoides (Less.) P.L. Ferreira, Saavedra & Groppo (Asteraceae), in the process of disintegration, the ripe, pappus-tufted fruits beginning to be dispersed by the wind, like those of a 'dandelion clock'. A. diacanthoides, the Tayu tree of Chile, is a curious arborescent member of the daisy family, Asteraceae, which can form a tree 15m in height. The scaly infructescence is much like that of a knapweed (genus Centaurea). Note also the leathery, dark green, mature leaves of the fruiting shoot, The bark of the Tayu tree is a considered an excellent remedy (both topical and oral) for blunt trauma in the folk medicine of Chile. Infructescence borne by a small, container-grown specimen of this rare plant, purchased from a specialist nursery in Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
