''Brachylaena rotundata'' S. Moore is an occasionally deciduous Southern African shrub or small tree growing to some 8m in height and belonging to the Asteraceae family. It occurs in eastern Botswana, Transvaal, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe, growing in open woodland, on rocky koppies and slopes, and on stream banks. Kew accepts ''Brachylaena rotundata'' S. Moore as a species while 'Flora of Mozambique' treats it as a variety of ''Brachylaena discolor'' DC. 〔http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/search?q=Brachylaena+discolor〕〔http://www.mozambiqueflora.com/speciesdata/species.php?species_id=159070〕 It bears attractive foliage, green on the upper surface and silver-grey on the lower, leaves turning slightly reddish in autumn. This species produces a dense and strong creamy-brown timber, but not of any useful size or straightness. ==External links== *(SANBI ) *(JSTOR ) *(Flowers ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brachylaena rotundata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
