Symphyotrichum lateriflorum flower heads

Symphyotrichum lateriflorum, calico or starved aster, is a perennial plant in the family Asteraceae from North America. Its flowers are small at about 13 millimeters in diameter when in full bloom. It has 7–15 white ray florets that surround a group of about 8–16 cream to light yellow disk florets. After pollination, the disk florets turn pink, then purple or light brown. Its late-summer and fall appearing flowers are visited by small pollinators and nectar-seeking insects such as sweat bees, miner bees, and hoverflies. The leaves have fine veins and little to no hair except for the key characteristic of hair on the back midrib. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Solidago lateriflora. The Meskwaki and Potawatomi have used the plant medicinally to help with mental illness, fever, and for use in a sweatbath. It was cultivated in Europe by 1758, and modern-day cultivars include 'Bleke Bet', 'Lady in Black', and 'Prince'. (Full article...)

Support - it's a fantastic article with attractive images. Comments on the introduction above: I was wondering if "reticulate" could be linked, or re-worded, or even left out entirely? Lastly, you could link hoverflies to Hover fly as that is a great article (IMHO). Otherwise, it looks good. Gricharduk (talk) 06:09, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
