Baccharis (bakkharis, an ancient Greek name for different shrubs). Compositae. Groundsel Tree. Ornamental plants, chiefly grown for the showy white pappus of the fruit; some species also for their evergreen foliage.
Shrubby or suffruticose: lvs. alternate, usually serrate, glabrous, deciduous or evergreen: heads of fls. small, white or yellowish, dioecious, in panicles or corymbs; involucre with many imbricate scales; receptacle flat, naked; pistillate fls. with filiform corolla: achenes compressed, ribbed, with pappus.—More than 250 species in Amer., chiefly in S. Amer.
Baccharis halimifolia and B. salicina are hardy North, while the evergreen species are more tender. They grow in almost any well-drained soil in a sunny position, and are well adapted for dry and rocky slopes, and valuable for seashore planting. Propagation is by seeds, or by cuttings under glass.
