Summary
| Description |
English: A single fruiting shoot of Dasyphyllum diacanthoides (D.Don) Cabrera, family Asteraceae, subfamily Barnadesioideae : the Tayu tree, the bark of which is highly esteemed in Chilean folk medicine as a treatment (both topical and oral) for blunt trauma. The slender, white florets of the unobtrusive, knapweed-like inflorescence have withered to dark brown threads and the hairs of the pappi of the winged fruits can be seen protruding a little from the tip of the scaly infructescence. Note the fringed scales of the infructescence (much like those of certain Centaurea spp.), the glossy, leathery leaves, armed with a single, terminal spine, and the plump, scaly, axillary buds. |

A close-up of part of a small (circa 50cm), pot-bound, container-grown specimen of a Chilean native tree species seldom grown in the U.K. - probably because flower heads small and not of much ornamental value and plant itself rather frost-tender. Specimen being grown for propagation purposes as a stock plant in the large glasshouse of a specialist nursery situated in the east of the county of Cornwall, U.K.
