Gazania krebsiana Less.

국표에 없다.

Gazania krebsiana is one of some 19 species of Gazania that are exclusively African and predominantly South African - only Gazania krebsiana subsp. serrulata (DC.) Roessler ventures northwards from the Transvaal into Tanzania.

Description

This ground-hugging grassland species is one of the first plants to flower in spring, appearing in profusion as small clumps of yellow or white flowers between low grass tussocks or burnt stubble, or as leafless single flowers seemingly stuck into the soil. Flowering lasts for only a few weeks after the first rains. The buttercup-yellow rays often occur in forms having dark spots at the base. The showy flowers open only in strong sunlight, closing with fading light and re-opening the following day. This plant is perennial and grows from a woody rootstock. The leaves are tufted and linear in shape, white-felted on the underside, and exuding a milky latex when damaged.

Gazania krebsiana is very similar to a number of other Gazania species, including Gazania rigida, Gazania pectinata and Gazania linearis among others. Species boundaries between these are not clear, and they are frequently confused in practice.

Gazania 속은 1791 년 Joseph Gaertner에 의해 그의 기념비적 인 작품 De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum에서 설립되었습니다. 이름에 대한 두 가지 가능한 출처는 Theophrastus의 그리스 식물 작품을 라틴어로 번역하여 현대 식물학의 기초를 놓은 Gaza의 Theodore와 '재물'을 뜻하는 그리스어 'gaza'입니다. 구체적인 이름 'krebsiana'는 베를린 동물 박물관 (현재 베를린 자연사 박물관)을 대신하여 남아프리카에서 자연사 표본을 수집 한 독일의 자연 주의자이자 약사 인 Georg Ludwig Engelhard Krebs (1792-1844)를 기리기 위해 명명되었습니다.
