description
Vegetative characteristics
The Cotula species are annual to perennial , herbaceous plants . Their mostly alternate and sheathed-stem-encompassing, rarely opposite leaves are somewhat fleshy, deeply pinnate and rarely entire.
Generative characteristics
The cup-shaped inflorescences usually only contain tubular flowers . They are multi-flowered to many-flowered and stand solitary, terminal or axillary, at the end of longer stems. They are more or less upright when they bloom. The bracts are in one or two rows and are not leaf-like. The bottom of the cup is flat, arched or conical, has no chaff leaves , and is bald or hairy. The flowers are stalked, have no pappus and have a yellow crown. The marginal flowers are female, their crown is small and often stunted. The inner flowers are hermaphroditic or functionally male, their crown is tubular, flattened and four-lobed.
The achenes are flattened and have no pappus.
The basic chromosome number is x = 8, 9, 10.
Systematics and distribution
The genus Cotula was established by Carl von Linné . The name Cotula is derived from the Greek word kotyle for cup, bowl, bowl, this refers to the leaves that surround the stem and resemble a bowl.
The genus Cotula belongs to the subtribe Cotulinae from the tribe Anthemideae in the subfamily Asteroideae within the family Asteraceae . The former section Leptinella is a separate genus Leptinella Cass. .
The genus Cotula is widespread in the southern hemisphere: its focus is on the Capensis , some species also occur in South America , Australia (seven species) and East Africa and two species occur in China. The lye flower ( Cotula coronopifolia ) is a neophyte in many areas of the world .
