  • Question

    We are not sure of the location of the plant, as we were only given the seed, but we know it is a terrestrial plant and we also know it if of the asteraceae family. We also know that the plant will flower, but hasn't yet. It has some teething, the leaves are not lobbed, it has a very prominent midrib, no tricomes on the leaves, it's lancalate, and glaucous. With the attached pictures, do you know what genus, and, hopefully, what species it is?

    Answer

    Dear Taeler, good morning. I'm sorry I can't help you yet. The foliage in the images could be any number of species in the family. Hopefully you will be able to bring it to flower and supply me with an image then. Again, I wish I could help you more, but I would need the location in the absence of reproductive material.
