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]
Description
Subsucculent perennial, herb (with a well-developed taproot), it grows up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high. It has yellow flowers.[3]
Taxonomy
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]
