Tolpis Webbii
tolpis webbii
Tolpis webbii is a charming perennial subshrub endemic to the high-altitude zones of the Canary Islands, particularly Tenerife and La Palma. Belonging to the Asteraceae family, this resilient plant is a classic feature of the subalpine scrub and the understory of Canary Island pine forests. It thrives in volcanic, nutrient-poor soils, painting the dramatic volcanic landscapes with bursts of bright yellow flowers. Its ability to withstand intense solar radiation and seasonal drought makes it a vital pioneer species in these harsh environments, supporting local insect communities.
生息地: Found in high-altitude volcanic scrublands and Canary Island pine forests, typically on rocky, dry slopes.
外見
This plant grows as a woody-based herb or small subshrub reaching 20 to 60 centimeters in height. It features lance-shaped, grey-green leaves that are often clustered at the base or along the lower stems. Its most striking feature is the composite flower heads, which consist of numerous bright yellow ray florets surrounding a slightly darker central disc, mimicking a robust, multi-branched dandelion.

おもしろい事実
Despite its delicate, dandelion-like appearance, this plant has a woody base that allows it to survive as a perennial subshrub for years.
It is one of the iconic plant species that decorate the caldera of Teide, Spain's highest peak.
The species name 'webbii' honors Philip Barker Webb, an English botanist who co-authored the definitive 19th-century study on the Canary Islands' flora.
