Stansted Park, near Rowlands Castle, Hampshire. Cephalaria is a genus of about 65 species of flowering plants in the family Dipsacaceae, native to southern Europe, western and central Asia, and northern and southern Africa. It is closely related to Scabiosa and Knautia. They are annual or perennial herbaceous plants growing to 0.8-2 m tall. Cephalaria species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Schinia imperialis, which feeds exclusively on C. procera. Selected species: Cephalaria alpina (L.) Roem. & Schult. Cephalaria ambrosioides (Sibth. & Sm.) Roem. & Schult. Cephalaria aristata C.Koch Cephalaria coriacea (Willd.) Roem. & Schult. ex Steud. Cephalaria flava (Sibth. & Sm.) Szabó Cephalaria gigantea (Ledeb.) Bobrov – Tatarian Cephalaria Cephalaria joppica (Spreng.) Bég. Cephalaria laevigata (Waldst. & Kit.) Schrad. Cephalaria leucantha (L.) Roem. & Schult. Cephalaria linearifolia Lange Cephalaria litvinovii Bobrov Cephalaria pastricensis Dörfl. & Hayek Cephalaria radiata Griseb. & Schenk Cephalaria setulifera Boiss. & Heldr. Cephalaria squamiflora (Sieber) Greuter Cephalaria scabra (L.f.) Roem. & Schult. Cephalaria syriaca (L.) Roem. & Schult. – Syrian Cephalaria Cephalaria tchihatchewii Boiss. Cephalaria transylvanica (L.) Roem. & Schult. Cephalaria uralensis (Murray) Roem. & Schult. Some species are grown as ornamental plants in gardens; the most popular species is C. gigantea, a perennial species from the Caucasus growing to 2 m tall, valued for its strong erect growth with dark green foliage and yellow flowers (Huxley 1992). |
