Scientific Names

Read about Emilia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Emilia (perhaps a personal name). Compositae. Flower-garden herbs, perennial or annual, with orange or scarlet bloom. Related to Senecio (to which some authors refer it), but always without rays: heads rather small, the involucre very simple and cup-shaped, with no small outer scales; style-branches long or short: achenes with 5 acute ciliate angles: florets all perfect.—A dozen or more species have been described from warm parts of Afr., Asia to China, Polynesia and Amer. One species in common cult. E. purpurea. Cass. (E. sonchifolia, DC., not Hort. Cacalia sonchifolia, Linn. Senecio sonchifolis, Moench). Radical Lvs. often more or less lyrate, st.-lvs. broader and clasping, the beads fewer in the cluster and the involucre-scales nearly as long as the florets. Apparently not in cult, in this country.
