Golden Crownbeard Flowers (Verbesina encelioides) growing in an are where the roadside flora had been cut down 3 or so weeks ago. More about this flowering plant: “[Golden Crownbeard] (Verbesina encelioides) is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. The species is native to many parts of the United States and Mexico. It is naturalized in other parts of North America, the Middle East, Spain, Argentina, Australia and the Pacific islands. Common names include golden crownbeard, gold weed, wild sunflower, cowpen daisy, butter daisy, crown-beard, American dogweed and South African daisy. The species responds strongly to disturbances on suitable sites and retards the development of other local species. Research has identified an allelopathic effect on radishes which may explain its ability to dominate other species in some locations.” - Wikipedia #ScenesFromMyWalk #GoldenCrownbeard #GoldenCrownbeardFlower #VerbesinaEncelioides #CowpenDaisy #ButterDaisy #GoldWeed #WildSunflower #SunnyPlant (at Agua Fria, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnAjC-9v762/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#1756 - Verbesina encelioides - Golden Crownbeard
Tumblr media
AKA Cowpen Daisy, American dogweed, butter daisy, gold weed, skunk daisy, South African daisy, wild sunflower, and yellowtop
Australia has plenty of native Asteraceae, but the family is so hugely successful that of course it will have to include numerous weed species. For most of November I was busily involved in the 2020 Biosecurity Blitz, where citizen scientists in Australia report on any suspected invasive species they spot - this annual was one of them. 
Originally native to the SW of North America, and down to central Mexico. Now an extremely widespread weed, absolutely thriving where the soil has been disturbed. Roadworks and building sites are certainly covered by the stuff here in Perth. Poisonous to livestock, and poisons the plants around it by secreting allelchemicals into the soil.
