Madia (Modi, the Chilean name of the common species). Compositae. Yellow-flowered herbs confined to the western part of the American continent, sometimes grown in the flower-garden.
The nearest genus of garden value is Layia, from which Madia is distinguished by the following characters: involucre deeply sulcate, bracts strongly infolding and thus inclosing the achenes of the rays which are laterally compressed: achenes of the disk fertile or sterile. Their fls. are remarkable for closing in the sunshine, and opening in the morning or evening. Species about a dozen.
They are all called tarweeds from their glandular, viscid, heavily-scented foliage, the common tarweed of California being var. congesta of M. sativa, which is a useful annual plant for sheep pastures in dry, warm soil. M. elegans is an interesting ornamental annual. It has a graceful open habit (see Fig. 2294) and distinct flowers (Fig. 2295), which become more numerous as the summer advances.
