DescriptionArchidasyphyllum diacanthoides single inflorescence.jpg
English: A single, knapweed-like inflorescence borne by a young, cultivated specimen of Archidasyphyllum diacanthoides, the Tayu tree of Chile, a curious, arborescent member of the daisy family, Compositae. The bark of the Tayu tree is highly esteemed, in the folk medicine of Chile, as a remedy - both topical and internal - for blunt trauma.
Inflorescence borne by a cultivated specimen of this rare shrub (seldom grown in the UK because not particularly ornamental) growing on the south-facing wall of a private house in Paxton, Scottish Borders, near Berwick-upon-Tweed. Has thus far proved hardy there, thanks to proximity to the fairly mild, maritime climate of the narrow, coastal strip of Northumberland abutting the North Sea.
