Vegetative characteristics

The richly branched subshrub reaches heights of 25 to 60 centimeters. The leaves form non-flowering, basal rosettes or are distributed on the flowering stem . The leaves are lobed or pinnate with pinnate to lobed or almost whole lobes, are 4 to 15 centimeters long and 2.5 to 7 centimeters wide. The upper side of the leaf is spider-weby tomentose and balding and the underside of the leaf is densely hairy white tomentose.

Generative characteristics

There are many flower heads in a gold-like inflorescence . These have a diameter of 12 to 15 millimeters and contain ray and tubular flowers. The bracts are also white felt, with the inner about 7 millimeters and the outer up to 3 millimeters long. Outside there is a wreath with 10 to 13 light yellow, zygomorphic and female ray- flowers (= ray-flowers), they are 10 to 13 millimeters long. Inside are the orange and hermaphrodite tubular flowers (= disc flowers). The pollination is done by insects. Ribbed achenes with longer and whitish pappus are formed.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 40.

The plant is poisonous.

Occurrence

Their distribution area includes the Mediterranean area . In other countries, in the Canary Islands , Azores , Balearic Islands, Great Britain, Ireland, Portugal, Algeria , Morocco, the Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria , Ukraine and New Zealand it is a neophyte. As a typical Mediterranean coastal plant, it colonizes coastal rocks and stabilized coastal dunes .

Systematics

The first publication was under the name ( Basionym ) Othonna maritima by Carl von Linné . The new combination to Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden was published in 2005 by Pieter B. Pelser and Ruud van der Meijden in Heukels' Flora van Nederland , 23rd edition, p. 677. Further synonyms for (L.) Pelser & Meijden are: Cineraria maritima (L.) L. , Senecio cineraria DC. , Senecio maritimus (L.) Rchb. non Lf , Senecio gibbosus subsp. cineraria (DC.) Peruzzi & al. , Senecio bicolor subsp. cineraria (DC.) Chater .

There are several subspecies of the species Jacobaea maritima , depending on the author:

  • Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden subsp. maritima : It is native to Spain, France, Tunisia , Italy, Corsica , Sardinia, Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina
  • Jacobaea maritima subsp. bicolor (Willd.) B. Nord. & Greuter (Syn .: Cineraria bicolor Willd. , Senecio bicolor (Willd.) Tod. Non Viv. , Senecio willdenowii Peruzzi & NGPassal. , Senecio cineraria subsp. Bicolor (Willd.) Arcang. , Senecio gibbosus subsp. Bicolor (Willd. ) Peruzzi & al. ): In this subspecies the terminal leaflet is as wide as it is long and blunt. The distribution area includes the central and eastern Mediterranean area with France, Italy, Sicily , Tunisia, Greece, the Aegean and Turkey.
  • Jacobaea maritima subsp. sicula N.G. Passal. & al. : It occurs only in Sicily and Malta .

Some authors have the species group Jacobaea maritima aggr. with the types:

  • Jacobaea candida (C. Presl) B. Nord. & Greuter (Syn .: Senecio bicolor subsp. Nebrodensis (Guss.) Chater ). In this species the leaves are broader, of a lyre-shaped pinnate shape and with a serrated leaf margin. She is endemic to Sicily.
  • Jacobaea gibbosa (cast.) B.Nord. & Greuter : It only occurs in Italy and Sicily.
  • Jacobaea maritima (L.) Pelser & Meijden .
