Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Vittadinia (Dr. C. Vittadini, an Austrian who wrote on fungi, 1826-1842). Compositae. Herbs with a thick caudex, or branching subshrubs.

Leaves alternate, entire or variously cut: heads rather small, with a yellow disk and white or blue rays, terminal, solitary or in loose leafy corymbs: involucre of several rows: rays pistillate, numerous, crowded, in more than one row: achenes narrow, compressed or flat, with or without ribs on the faces; pappus of numerous, often unequal capillary bristles.—About 14 species, natives of Austral., New Zeal., S. Amer., and Hawaiian Isls. The genus is closely related to Erigeron, differing in habit and in the appendages of the style-branches, those of Erigeron being short, while those of Vittadinia are awl-shaped. For V. triloba, Hort., not DC., see Erigeron mucronatus.

V. tricolor, Hort., is apparently V. australis, A. Rich.
