Everything about Santolina totally explained
Santolina is a
genus of
flowering plants in the
family Asteraceae, native to the
Mediterranean region. Between five and 18 species are accepted by different authorities.
The species are small
evergreen shrubs growing to 10-60 cm tall. The
leaves are simple and minute in some species, or pinnate, finely divided in other species, and often densely silvery hairy. The
flowers are yellow, produced in dense globose
capitulae (flowerheads) 1-2 cm diameter on top of slender stems held 10-25 cm above the foliage.
Santolina species are used as food plants by the
larvae of some
Lepidoptera species including
Bucculatrix santolinella (feeds exclusively on
S. chamaecyparissus) and the
Coleophora case-bearers
C. albicella (recorded on
S. chamaecyparissus),
C. involucrella (feeds exclusively on
Santolina spp) and
