Verbesina (probably a meaningless alteration of Verbena). Compositae. Crownbeard. Annual or perennial herbs, or some tropical species shrubby.
Leaves alternate or opposite, often decurrent: heads corymbose or solitary, of yellow or white fls.; rays sometimes wanting, pistillate or neutral: achenes flattened or those of the rays 3-sided, their margins winged or not; pappus of 2 (1-3) awns, sometimes with 2 or 3 intermediate scales.—About 50 species, American. About a half dozen hardy perennial verbesinas have slight rank as garden plants, but the competition among yellow-fld. autumn-blooming composites is so great that verbesinas have little chance. They make acceptable wild-garden and back-border subjects.
V. Purpusii, T. S. Brandeg. Dwarf: lvs. in a rosette, elliptic, 4-5 in. long: scapes 8-12 in. long, each bearing a solitary fl.-head 1 3/4 - 2 in. across; ray-florets deep golden. Mex.—V. virginica, Linn. (Phaethusa virginica, Brit.). Virginia Crownbeard. A hairy-stemmed perennial with winged branches and white corymbose-paniculate heads has been offered. It is a wild-garden subject that would be good to naturalize. E. N. Amer. Gt.. 47, p. 132.
