The Tales & The Botany: Jacobaea maritima
Jacobaea maritima used to be Senecio cineraria but was subsequently reclassified.
She is often confused with Centaurea maritima and it’s true – they look very similiar…
For those who want to be in the know:
Jacobaea maritima is from the Central Mediterranean, has a more two-dimensional appearance to the foliage and produces yellow florets when it flowers.
Seneciocineraria is from the Italian island of Capraia, has finer, more sub-divided foliage and produces a three-dimensional appearance and flowers in a purple thistle form.
