Vegetative characteristics

Wasserdost species are annual or perennial herbaceous plants that reach heights of 30 to 200 centimeters. A rhizome or a thickening is formed at the base of the stem axis ( caudex ). The independently upright stems are usually not branched to the branches of the inflorescence.

The mostly opposite distributed on stems, rarely verticillately or sometimes almost at the upper end opposite to alternate constantly arranged leaves are sessile or pedunculated. The leaf blades have three main nerves or are pinnate. The leaf blades are mostly simple and delta-shaped or ovate to lanceolate or linear; sometimes completely different forms of spreading occur. Some species also have pinnately lobed leaf blades (for example, common water feast ( Eupatorium cannabinum )). The leaf margins are ± smooth, serrated or serrated. The leaf surfaces are bald or downy to rough or bristly hairy and usually dotted with glands.

Generative characteristics

The cup-shaped partial inflorescences stand together in umbrella-clustered or scattered to dense, branched, pyramidal paniculate , total inflorescences . The sessile or stalked flower heads are always disc-shaped. The basket shell (involucrum) is at a diameter of 1 to 3 to 5 or more millimeters inverted-conical to ellipsoidal. Usually 10 to 15 (7 to 22) mostly durable bracts overlap slightly to strongly like roof tiles and are usually in two to three, rarely up to five rows; sometimes the inner bracts are obsolete. In some species such as Eupatorium album , the bracts are the most strikingly colored part of the inflorescence. The mostly green bracts are two to three-nerved or there are hardly any nerves recognizable, they can also be pinnate. The mostly unequal, sometimes almost identical bracts are elliptical, lanceolate, oblong or obovate. The edges of the bracts are dry-skinned, translucent and the upper ends are rounded to pointed or acuminate, sometimes spiky. The surfaces of the bracts are usually finely or shaggy hairy, rarely bald and mostly they are dotted with glands. Typical of the genus Eupatorium s. st. is the flat, rarely slightly convex flower head base. There are no chaff leaves on the bottom of the basket .

In the cup-shaped inflorescence there are only radially symmetrical tubular flowers . In most species, the flower heads contain only three to five flowers. Only in the three species Eupatorium perfoliatum , Eupatorium serotinum and Eupatorium resinosum are there more than five flowers in the flower heads, with a maximum of 23 flowers.

All flowers are hermaphroditic and fertile. The petals are usually white or reddish, pink, lavender to purple due to anthocyanin . The five petals are narrowly funnel-shaped to narrowly bell-shaped and the corolla tube is also narrow at its base. Concentrated on the base of the corolla tube, the corolla throat and the corolla lobes, there are glands on the outside and rarely there are few hairs ( trichomes ). The corolla tube ends in five relatively short, triangular corolla lobes that are slightly longer than wide. The stamens usually do not protrude from the corolla tube. The upper appendages of the anthers are relatively large, ovate-triangular and about 1.5 times as long as they are wide. The lower anthers appendages are blunt to rounded, only short or almost absent. Nectaries can rarely be recognized. The base of the style is downy hairy or rarely glabrous (glabrous in Eupatorium capillifolium ); the rest of the stylus is mostly bare. A swollen lump may appear at the base of the pen. The two branches of the style are thread-like to somewhat widened or in the upper area widened with a papilose surface; they are often the most colorful parts of the flower. The stylus branches have long, thread-like, sterile appendages with a blunt end.

The brownish to blackish achenes are prismatic in shape, always five-ribbed, mostly bald and dotted with glands. The durable cardboard consists of a row with mostly 25 to 40 (20 to 50) whitish, bearded bristles; they are rounded at the top or there is a short point.

Sets of chromosomes

The basic number of chromosomes is x = 10. Even within one species, but especially among the hybrids , different degrees of ploidy were determined. Diploidy occurs only in the species Eupatorium lancifolium , Eupatorium resinosum , Eupatorium petaloideum , Eupatorium mikanioides , Eupatorium paludicola and Eupatorium album .

ecology

In Eupatorium TYPES rarely is therophytes , mostly hemicryptophytes .

Apomixis occurs in the Eupatorium species and hybrids . The pollination by insects is common. In three species, pollination takes place via the wind.

Usually the diaspores , the achenes , spread by means of the pappus through the wind.

Systematics, botanical history and distribution

The genus Eupatorium was 1753 Linnaeus in Species Plantarum , 2, page 836 first published . The genus name Eupatorium refers to King of Pontus Mitridates VI. Eupator (132-63 BC). Type species is Eupatorium cannabinum L. A homonym is Eupatorium Bubani published in Pietro Bubani : Flora Pyrenaea per ordines naturales gradatim digesta 2, 1899, page 268. Synonyms for Eupatorium L. are: Eupatorium sect. Dalea Loudon , Eupatorium sect. Heterolepis Baker , Eupatorium sect. Pteropoda DC. , Eupatorium sect. Subimbricata Hoffm. , Caradesia Raf. , Chrone Dulac , Cunigunda Bubani , Eriopappus Hort. ex Loudon , Eupatoriadelphus R.M. King & H.Rob. , Eupatoriastrum Greenm. , Halea L. , Pseudokyrsteniopsis R.M. King & H.Rob. , Viereckia R.M. King & H.Rob.

The genus Eupatorium belongs to the sub- tribus Eupatoriinae Dumort. from the tribe Eupatorieae Cass. in the subfamily Asteroideae within the family Asteraceae . The genus Eupatorium s. l. contained 800 to 1200 species in earlier broad conceptions and was split into many genera by King and Robinson in 1987 . The genera in which these species were placed are: Ageratina , Chromolaena , Condylidium , Conoclinium , Critonia , Cronquistianthus , Eutrochium , Fleischmannia , Flyriella , Hebeclinium , Koanophyllon , Mikania , Tamaulipa . This breakdown into small genres has been controversial, but has been consolidated in the 21st century. For the genus Eupatorium s. str., in the narrower sense, 42 to 45 species remain.

In Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, only one species is native, the common water deast ( Eupatorium cannabinum ). The other species are mostly found in North America (mainly in the eastern part), some also in East Asia . In North America there are about 20 species and about 4 natural hybrids (it turned out in 2007 that two types of the Flora of North America are also natural hybrids). There are about 14 species in China, six of them only there.

use

Varieties of only a few species (perhaps only of Eupatorium cannabinum ; it should be noted that most of the species mentioned in horticulture belong to other genera) are used as ornamental plants in parks and gardens.

Some species are used as medicinal plants and for the production of scented oil (for examples see above in the species list).

The medicinal effects of Eupatorium cannabinum have been studied.

The juice from the leaves of Eupatorium cannabinum is used as an insect repellent in animals . Eupatorium compositifolium and Eupatorium hyssopifolium are used as culinary herbs. All plant parts of Eupatorium compositifolium and Eupatorium hyssopifolium are used to relieve bites from reptiles and insects .

ingredients

Important ingredients are pyrrolizidine alkaloids , flavonoids , for example the poisonous flavone eupatorin and the benzofuran derivative euparin .
