Mathiasella is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apiaceae.[1] It is in the Tribe Selineae. The genus only contains one known species, Mathiasella bupleuroides Constance & C.L.Hitchc.[2]
It is native to Mexico.[2]
The genus name of Mathiasella is in honour of Mildred Esther Mathias (1906–1995), an American botanist and college professor and also Director of the UCLA Botanic garden.[3] The Latin specific epithet of bupleuroides means "like Bupleurum" in recognition that it has visual similarities to Bupleurum, another genus of plants in the Apiaceae family, that has worldwide distribution.[4] Both the genus and the species were first described and published in Amer. J. Bot. Vol.41 on page 56 in 1954.[2]
Known cultivars
[edit | edit source]'Green Dream' is a herbaceous perennial that grows up to 1m tall with large, dark green, highly divided leaves. The blooms are made up of jade-green bracts surrounding small, black flowers. They appear in late spring and last to autumn, gradually maturing to pink. It is used in gardens in the UK and USA.[5] It grows in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It may need protection from the harshest winter frosts (in the UK). The cut flowers are used ornamentally, fresh or dried.[6]
