Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Wedelia (Georg Wolfgang Wedel, professor at Jena, Germany, 1645-1721). Compositae. Scabrous-pubescent or hirsute, annual or perennial herbs or sub-shrubs, suitable for growing in the greenhouse: lvs. opposite, usually dentate, rarely 3-cleft or entire: head heterogamous; ray-fls. male, disk-fls. fertile or the innermost sterile; involucre ovoid, campanulate or somewhat hemispherical, bracts in 2 rows; corolla yellow, male ligulate, spreading, apex entire or 2-3-toothed, female regular, tubular, 5-toothed or shortly 5-cleft: achenes glabrous or pilose, smooth or tuberculate, cuneate-oblong or obovate.—About 70 species, natives of the warmer regions of the world.

To this genus, Pascalia is referred by recent authors. P. glauca, Orteg., is from Chile, probably not in cult. The plant cult. under this name in England, and once offered in this country, is probably the plant shown in P.M. 8:125, which is thought to be a Helianthus. It is not hardy and there seems to be little reason for cultivating it here where there are so many hardy sunflowers. P. glauca is an herbaceous perennial, with opposite linear-lanceolate lvs., the upper ones entire and lower ones irregularly dentate: heads terminal and solitary, yellow-rayed.
