Hullsia range in Australia |
Hullsia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. [1] It only contains one species, Hullsia argillicola. [2]
It is native to Australia, mainly the states of Northern Territory and Western Australia, [2] and it grows on heavy clay soils. Located in regions that flood frequently, such as plains, paddocks and swamps. [3]
Subsucculent perennial, herb (with a well-developed taproot), it grows up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high. It has yellow flowers. [3]
The genus name of Hullsia is in honour of Charles Stephen Hulls (c. 1835–1923), accompanied John McKinlay explorer and cattle grazier, on expeditions in Australia. [4] The Latin specific epithet of argillicola means dwelling on clay, or 'argillicolous'. [5] Due to the fact it was found in the clay soils of northern Australia. [6]
Both genus and species were first described and published by Philip Sydney Short in Muelleria Vol.20 on page 58 in 2004. [6] [2]
The genus was once thought to be part of the Brachyscome genus. [7]
Hullsia argillicola was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 20 November 2019. [8]
