Anthemidaceae Link, Handbuch 1: 752. 1929. Perennial to annual herbs, or more rarely shrubs or subshrubs, often aromatic. Leaves mostly alternate, rarely opposite, often dissected, lobed or toothed. Inflorescences cor- ymbose, racemose, paniculate, or solitary. Capitula usually heterogamous, radiate or dis- ciform, rarely homogamous, discoid; involucres cylindrical to globose; phyllaries 1-4-se- riate, imbricate, wholly scarious or herbaceous with scarious margins and apices; receptacles flat to convex or convex-conical, naked or rarely pubescent or with persistent or deciduous paleae; marginal florets usually pistillate, the corollas ligulate or rarely absent, homochromatic white, yellow, or red (occasionally pink) to heterochromatic white or cream distally and yellow proximally, entire or 1-3-denticulate; disc florets hermaphroditic or functionally male, the corollas tubular to funnelform, 4-5-merous (rarely 3-merous), usu- ally homochromatic yellow to occasionally deep red, the anthers basally obtuse or short- tailed, the terminal appendages deltoid to ovate, acute to rounded, the style branches truncate, terminally penicillate with the stigmatic surfaces in two, parallel, marginal stripes. Achenes di- or isomorphic, 2-10-ribbed or 1-3-winged, circular or angled-terete to strongly dorsiventrally or laterally compressed; pappus coroniform or occasionally absent. The Anthemideae is a large tribe consisting of some 101 genera and about 1,400 species (Heywood & Humphries, 1977), occurring primarily in the tem- perate Northern Hemisphere. In Peru, many species are introduced weeds or escapees from cultivation; however, various members of Cotula, Saliva, and Pla- giocheilus are considered native to South America. REFERENCE HEYWOOD, V.

The genus Chrysanthemum, when interpreted in a broad sense, includes about 200 species, mainly natives of Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa, with species naturalized on nearly every continent. Considerable biosystematic evi- dence indicates that this genus has been quite heterogeneous, and recent work- ers (Heywood & Humphries, 1977) have recircumscribed the generic limits, thus limiting the genus to a group of three species: C. carinatum, C. coronarium, and C. segetum, all of northern Africa and Europe. These changes have been reflected in several recent floras (e.g., Flora of Turkey, 1975; Flora Europaea, 1976). In the present treatment, several taxa traditionally treated under Chrysanthemum s.l. are treated under other genera (cf. Tanacetum, Dendranthema, and Leucanthemum). REFERENCES GRIERSON, A. J.

Capitula ra- diate, heterogamous; involucres hemispherical; phyllaries ca. 3-seriate, imbricate, mar- ginally scarious, brown, erose; receptacles convex to conical, epaleate (paleae present in multi-seriate rayed cultivars); ray florets pistillate, fertile or sterile, the ligules white to purple or yellow (variously colored in cultivars); disc florets hermaphroditic (absent in some cultivars), the corollas tubular-obconical, usually yellow, the tube unwinged, apically 5-lobed, the anthers basally obtuse, the terminal appendage lanceolate to ovate, the style branches oblong, truncate, penicillate.

The genus consists of some 50 species of perennial herbs and subshrubs distributed throughout the Far East, including China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, USSR, and Europe. The genus is of considerable horticultural interest, with some 7,000 cultivars of autumn-flowering chrysanthemums derived from Den- dranthema morifolium, the hybrid product of various native species (Heywood & Humphries, 1977).

Achenes 1.0-1.5 mm long, sterile. Autumn-flowering perennial chrysanthemums were successfully introduced 10 FIELDIANA: BOTANY from China to France in 1789, and in 1792 the French botanist Ramatuelle pro- posed the name Chrysanthemum morifolium ( = Dendranthema morifolium) for one of these cultivars called "Old Purple" (Gosling, 1970). Although its origin is obscure, this cultivar is thought to be of hybrid origin, derived from several native Far Eastern species, including D. indicum, D. japonense, D. makinai, and D. ornatum (Bailey, 1976). It is not known when it was first introduced into the New World. The specimens examined thus far from Peru lack disc florets, with the ray florets produced in multiple series. Each ray floret is subtended by a palea, closely resembling an inner phyllary. These cultivars are sterile and are prop- agated through cuttings. In Peru, they are called "crisanthema." CUZCO.

A genus of approximately 25 species native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia. In Peru, the genus is represented by the cultivated taxon, Leu- canthemum vulgare (= Chrysanthemum leucanthemum L.), which occasionally es- capes and appears naturalized. REFERENCES BOCHER, T.

This species, or species-complex, is native to temperate Eurasia from western Europe to China and naturalized throughout North and South America. It is extremely variable within its range in the Old World and has been divided into a large number of questionable species (Heywood, 1976). Individuals occurring in Peru have been previously referred to Leucanthemum maximum (Ramond) DC., which is a commonly cultivated, cytological variant (n = 45 or 54). Although the plants within our range do possess larger cauline and basal leaves and larger capitula, current taxonomic treatments view it simply as a variant of L. vulgare (Heywood, 1976). Its common name in Peru is "marguarita." CUZCO. Anta: El Chaccan, 3,550 m, Brunei 268 (F, MO). VII. MATRICARIA Matricaria L., Sp. PI. 890. 1753.

Inflorescences solitary or sometimes corymbose. Ca- pitula radiate, heterogamous, rarely discoid and homogamous; involucres campanulate to hemispherical; phyllaries 2-3-seriate, equal to subequal, the margins membranous or scarious; receptacles conical, elongating in fruit, epaleate; ray florets (when present) pis- tillate, fertile or sterile, the ligules white, tridentate; disc florets hermaphroditic, the corollas tubular to cylindric-campanulate, 5-lobed, the anthers basally obtuse, the terminal ap- pendage deltoid, acute, the style branches oblong, truncate, penicillate. Achenes iso- morphic, oblong to obovate, often incurved, strongly 3-5-ribbed, glabrous; pappus absent or minutely coroniform. This genus, when interpreted in the narrowest sense, consists of about five species of northern hemispheric annuals and represents a Mediterranean di- vergence from the closely related genus Anthemis L. (Heywood & Humphries, 1977). Matricaria also shares relationships with Tripleurospermum Sch. Bip., a distinct genus of some 30 species of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. REFERENCES GRIERSON, A. J.

It is commonly found in markets of Central and South America, where it is sold for preparation of tea used for stomach troubles. In Peru, it is commonly cultivated and frequently escapes, becoming naturalized in fields and other disturbed areas. It is called "manzanilla" throughout Central and South America. CUZCO.

In Peru, three species are known from various high-elevation, moist habitats. The tribal status of this genus is open to question. Grau (1977) and Robinson & Brettell (1973) have suggested that it belongs in the Astereae. However, it is here accepted in the Anthemideae, a position supported by its general mor- phology, breeding system, and floral biology (Heywood & Humphries, 1977; Turner, pers. comm.). Its closest affinities appear to be with other southern hemispheric genera, including Cotula, Centipeda, Soliva, and Abrotanella. 4Other synonyms are listed by Grierson (1974).

Plagiocheilus bogotensis occupies moist, montane habitats from Colombia to northern Peru (2,100-3,100 m). It most closely resembles P. tanacetoides Haenke, a lowland, annual species of northeastern Argentina and is distinguished from that species by its more deeply incised and generally less pubescent leaf seg- ments. Bentham's Plagiocheilus prostrata, described from Ecuador, appears to be a variation in habit and is here reduced to synonymy. AMAZONAS. Luya: Leimebamba, 2,100 m, Woytkowski 7802 (F, MO).

Plagiocheilus solivaeformis is distributed from Colombia to Bolivia in moist, montane habitats (2,700-4,500 m). It has considerable morphological variation within its range and several of these morphs have been afforded specific status (P. peduncularis in Ecuador, and P. ciliata in Bolivia). In Colombia, Cuatrecasas (1954) has recognized two subspecies, P. solivaeformis subsp. colombianus Cuatr. and subsp. multiflorus Cuatr., based upon the degree of leaf division and capitula size. The Peruvian material examined in the present study appears typical for the species. AMAZON AS.

It is called "Santa Maria" in Latin America. AMAZONAS. Bongara: Pomacochas, 2,200-2,300 m, Ferreyra 15425 (MO); Chachapoyas: Chachapoyas, 2,700 m, Williams 7543 (F), 7550 (F). CUZCO.
