Asteraceae Week (Part II - Discoid heads) :: Vernonia colorata, (Willd.) Drake <=> Lowveld Tree - Bangalore - RA : Attachments (9). 4 posts by 3 authors. Shrub or small tree. The leaves are ovate-elliptic, normally twice as long as wide, with distinctly undulate margins. The upper surface is harshly hairy, the undersurface covered in dense woolly hairs, obscuring the net-veining. The flowerheads are star-shaped, forming large terminal clusters, mauve when young but soon turning white, appearing in winter. The body of the achene is covered in papillae but lacks hairs (apart from the pappus).
