Family:  Compositae
Author:  (Willd.)DC.

Habitat:  Not known



Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a well-drained humus-rich soil in full sun or light shade. According to one report this species reproduces apomictically and sexually[50], whilst another report says that only apomictic seed production is undergone[110]. Apomixy is an asexual method of seed production where each seed is genetically identical to the parent plant. Occasionally seed is produced sexually, the resulting seedlings are somewhat different to the parent plants and if these plants are sufficiently distinct from the parents and then produce apomictic seedlings these seedlings are, in theory at least, a new species.
