Description:

Summary[edit] Description: English: Photo of Smallanthus uvedalius in flower. This is a native plant growing wild in the C & O Canal National Historical Park, Montgomery county Maryland, USA. This species is a member of the Asteraceae family.The Flora of Virginia uses the specific name "uvedalius," which is also accepted by Kartesz (2011) and USDA Plants. However, Code of Nomenclature rules governing the use of epithets as nouns in apposition (rather than as adjectives) dictate that Smallanthus uvedalia (basionym: Osteospermum uvedalia L.) is correct (A.S. Weakley, pers. comm.). This is accepted by FNA, Tropicos, IPNI, and ITIS. Date: 25 June 2012, 16:04:49. Source: Own work. Author: Fritzflohrreynolds.
