Descriptions

Grau & Ehrhart (1993)
Ehrhart (2005)

Habit

Erect shrub to 150 cm tall

Key characteristics

This species has an extremely intricate inflorescence, composed of many cyme pairs. Although the leaf size varies considerably between populations, they are always obovate, acute, and conspicuously serrate, with a petiole which is almost wingless. Depending on the habitat, the habit can vary from erect shrubs to 1.5 m tall in open plains to hanging plants with fragile ascending branches when growing on steep earth or rocky slopes (Ehrhart, 2005)..

Notes

Some populations of C. talcana with glandular indumentum are hybrids with the very glandular C. dentata subsp. cummingiana.

Seed of this species is banked by the national seed bank of Chile, INIA.
