Tribe  ANTHEMIDEAE1 

Anthemideae  Cass.,  J.  Phys.  Chim.  Hist.  Nat.  Arts  88: 192. 1819.  TYPE:  Anthemis 
L. 

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.

III.  CHRYSANTHEMUM 
Chrysanthemum  L.,  s.l.,  Sp.  PI.  887.  1753.  TYPE:  C.  coronarium  L. 

Annual  herbs,  glabrous  or  pubescent,  often  strong  scented.  Leaves  alternate,  the  mar- 
gins entire,  toothed,  incised  or  variously  dissected,  pubescent  or  glabrate.  Inflorescences 
solitary  or  2-5  on  branch  tips,  often  long  pedunculate.  Capitula  radiate,  heterogamous; 
involucres  hemispherical  or  campanulate;  phyllaries  3-4-seriate,  imbricate,  the  margins 
scarious,  the  costa  darkened;  receptacles  convex,  epaleate;  ray  florets  13-21(-34),  the  ligules 
entire  or  dentate,  pistillate,  usually  fertile,  white  or  yellow,  and  rarely  with  reddish  bases; 
disc  florets  50-200,  hermaphroditic,  fertile,  the  corollas  yellow,  the  tube  laterally  expanded 
and  2-winged,  the  anthers  basally  obtuse  or  truncate,  the  terminal  appendage  ovate,  acute, 
the  style  branches  narrowly  oblong,  truncate,  penicillate.  Achenes  without  vallecular  se- 
cretory canals  or  epicarpic  mucilaginous  cells,  those  of  the  ray  florets  3-angled,  with  the 
ribs  often  winged,  those  of  the  disc  florets  cylindrical  to  cylindrical-triquetrous,  ribbed, 
the  adaxial  rib  sometimes  winged;  pappus  absent. 

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).

IV.  COTULA 

Cotula  L.,  Sp.  PI.  891.  1753.  TYPE:  C.  coronopifolia  L. 

Annual  or  perennial  herbs,  often  diminutive,  prostrate  to  decumbent,  often  rhizomatous 
or  stoloniferous^  glabrous  to  pilose,  often  with  pellucid  glands.  Leaves  alternate,  2-3- 
pinnatifid,  rarely  simple,  toothed  to  entire,  periolate  or  not,  the  bases  amplexicaul  or  only 
partly  so.  Inflorescences  solitary,  terminal  and  axillary;  peduncles  sometimes  swollen 
under  the  capitula.  Capitula  monoecious,  dioecious,  or  gynomonoecious,  disciform,  het- 
erogamous;  involucre  hemispherical  to  campanulate;  phyllaries  2-many-seriate,  subequal, 
herbaceous,  scarious  at  least  marginally;  receptacles  conical,  flat  or  convex,  rarely  hemi- 
spherical; epaleate;  marginal  florets  pistillate,  1-many-seriate,  the  corollas  filiform,  some- 
times 2-toothed  or  with  a  minute  ligula  (sometimes  corollas  lacking);  disc  florets  herma- 
phroditic, fertile,  or  functionally  male,  the  corollas  cylindric-campanulate,  funnelform,  or 
tubular,  sometimes  with  the  bases  sheathing  and  extending  over  the  ovary,  4-lobed  (rarely 
3-lobed),  the  anthers  4  (rarely  3),  basally  obtuse  or  minutely  tailed,  the  terminal  appendage 
ovate  or  lanceolate,  the  style  branches  of  the  marginal  florets  linear-lanceolate,  of  the  disc 
florets  oblong,  truncate,  penicillate.  Achenes  generally  stipitate,  terete,  or  dorsally  com- 
pressed, winged  or  not,  dorsally  convex;  pappus  absent. 

About  90  species,  almost  cosmopolitan,  but  mainly  South  African  and  in  New 
Zealand,  some  in  North  America,  Asia,  Australia,  New  Guinea,  South  America, 
and  the  Falkland  Islands.

some  7,000  cultivars  of  autumn-flowering  chrysanthemums  derived  from  Den- 
dranthema morifolium,  the  hybrid  product  of  various  native  species  (Heywood 
&  Humphries,  1977).

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."

VI.  LEUCANTHEMUM 
Leucanthemum  Mill.,  Card.  Diet.  Abridg.  ed.  4.  1754.  TYPE:  L.  vulgare  Lam. 

Perennial,  rarely  annual  herbs.  Leaves  alternate,  oblong,  spatulate  or  obovate,  the  mar- 
gins crenate,  serrate  or  pinnatifid.  Inflorescences  solitary  or  rarely  lax  corymbs.  Capitula 
radiate,  heterogamous,  rarely  disciform  or  discoid;  involucres  hemispherical;  phyllaries 
3-4-seriate,  imbricate,  lanceolate  to  oblong,  the  margins  scarious;  receptacles  usually  con- 
vex, epaleate;  marginal  florets  usually  ligulate,  pistillate,  fertile,  the  corollas  white  or 
pinkish,  rarely  yellow,  rarely  tubular-campanulate,  hermaphroditic  or  pistillate,  yellow; 
disc  florets  hermaphroditic,  fertile,  the  corollas  tubular,  5-lobed,  yellow,  the  anthers  basally 
obtuse,  the  terminal  appendage  ovate,  the  style  branches  truncate,  penicillate.  Achenes 
isomorphic,  oblong-cylindrical,  10-ribbed,  the  ribs  bearing  myxogenic  cells,  vallecular  se- 
cretory canals  present;  pappus  a  corona  or  auricle,  sometimes  rudimentary  or  only  on 
marginal  achenes,  or  absent. 

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.

&  Larsen,  1957):  Europe,  exact  locality  and  collector  unknown,  Herb.  Cliff.  (BM,  not 
seen). 

Perennial  herbs  to  1  m  tall,  aromatic;  stems  simple  or  sparsely  branched,  glabrous.  Basal 
leaves  obovate-spatulate  to  oblong-obovate,  to  15  cm  long,  incised  to  crenate,  petiolate; 


MACBRIDE:  FLORA  OF  PERU  11 

cauline  leaves  oblong  to  oblong-lanceolate,  to  10  cm  long,  remotely  denticulate  or  entire, 
sessile  and  somewhat  clasping  at  the  base,  glabrous.  Inflorescences  solitary.  Capitula 
radiate,  heterogamous,  ca.  1  cm  high,  1.5-2.0  cm  wide  (excluding  rays);  phyllaries  lan- 
ceolate to  oblong,  the  outer  6-9  mm  long,  2.0-2.5  mm  wide,  the  inner  ca.  10  mm  long, 
2.5-3.0  mm  wide,  the  margins  scarious,  brownish,  erose;  receptacles  convex;  ray  florets 
21-34,  the  ligules  oblong,  2.5-3.0  cm  long,  ca.  5  mm  wide,  apically  denticulate,  the  tube 
1-2  mm  long,  white;  disc  florets  200-300,  the  corollas  tubular,  3-4  mm  long,  yellow. 
Achenes  2.0-2.5  mm  long,  blackish  with  prominent,  pale-colored  ribs,  glabrous;  pappus 
a  corona  or  short  unilateral  auricle,  or  absent.  Chromosome  number:  n  =  9  (18,  27,  36, 
45,  54). 

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."

VII.  MATRICARIA 

Matricaria  L.,  Sp.  PI.  890.  1753.  LECTOTYPE  (as  designated  by  Pobedimova, 

1961):  Matricaria  recutita  L. 

Annual  herbs,  strongly  aromatic  or  odorless.  Leaves  alternate,  variously  pinnatifid,  the 
ultimate  segments  linear  or  filiform.  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.

This  taxon  has  its  origin  in  Eurasia  and  is  adventive  in  the  New  World.  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.

Annual  or  perennial  herbs.  Leaves  alternate,  1-2-pinnatifid.  Inflorescences  solitary  or 
corymbose.  Capitula  disciform,  heterogamous;  involucres  hemispherical;  phyllaries  2-3- 
seriate;  receptacles  convex  to  conical;  marginal  florets  multiseriate,  pistillate,  the  ligules

florets  long,  filiform,  of  the  disc  florets  short,  truncate.  Achenes  obconical,  subcompressed 
laterally,  glandular,  puberulent  or  glabrous;  pappus  absent. 

A  genus  of  perhaps  five  species  from  Colombia  to  Argentina.  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).  Only  the  names  listed  have  been  used 
for  Peruvian  material.

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.

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.

disciform,  heterogamous;  involucres  hemispherical;  phyllaries  2-seriate,  subequal,  the 
margins  scarious  or  membranous;  receptacles  flat  to  subconical,  epaleate;  marginal  florets 
pistillate,  fertile,  the  corollas  absent;  disc  florets  hermaphroditic,  functionally  male,  the 
corollas  funnelform,  4-lobed,  white,  the  anthers  4,  basally  obtuse,  the  terminal  appendages 
ovate,  the  styles  of  the  marginal  florets  rigid,  spinelike,  apically  bifurcated,  the  branches 
filiform,  caducous,  of  the  disc  florets  undivided,  truncate,  penicillate.  Achenes  dorsiven- 
trally  flattened,  convex,  often  with  lateral  wings  or  thickenings,  crowned  by  the  persistent 
styles,  equaling  the  achenes  in  length;  pappus  absent.  Chromosome  numbers:  n  =  +55,

This  species  is  native  to  the  Balkan  peninsula  and  has  long  been  cultivated 
for  ornament  and  as  a  medicinal  plant  throughout  Europe.  It  is  a  common 
introduction  throughout  the  New  World  and  often  escapes  from  cultivation. 
Label  datum  indicates  that  it  is  used  in  Peru  medicinally  as  follows  (Stork  & 
Horton  10265):  "Infusion  of  leaves  and  stems,  as  well  as  flowers,  applied  exter- 
nally to  relieve  stomach  trouble."  It  is  called  "Santa  Maria"  in  Latin  America.
