OlDoinyo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The UV shows the same kind of radial variegation seen on ray petals of many other Compositae. But it is less apparent in the visible than it is for Rudbeckia, for example. Link to comment
nfoto Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I have captured this species in UV in Greece and South Africa, and my UV results are virtually identical to what is presented here. Ray "petals" of the Asteraceae are known as ligules, by the way. Link to comment
