云南亚菊 yun nan ya ju<br />

Tanacetum elegantulum W. W. Smith, Notes Roy. Bot.<br />

Gard. Edinburgh 10: 201. 1918; Chrysanthemum elegantulum<br />

(W. W. Smith) S. Y. Hu.<br />

Herbs, perennial, 25–50 cm tall, with small woody rootstock.<br />

Stems many, slender, unbranched, erect or ascending,<br />

thinly silvery gray tomentose. Stem leaves ca. 2 × 1.5 cm, both<br />

surfaces gray tomentulose, 3-pinnatisect; ultimate segments linear,<br />

2–3 × 0.5–0.6 mm. Distal leaves less dissected, those subtending<br />

synflorescence linear, ca. 1 cm. Synflorescence a terminal<br />

flat-topped panicle; peduncles to 1.4 cm, grayish white.<br />

Immature capitula 3–4 mm in diam. Outer phyllaries linear or<br />

lanceolate, 2–3 mm, grayish white tomentulose; middle and<br />

inner ones lanceolate or elliptic, abaxially ± tomentulose, adaxially<br />

straw-colored scarious.<br />

● Yunnan.<br />

Ajania elegantula seems to be known only from the original immature<br />

collections and was regarded as insufficiently known in the<br />

FRPS account of Ajania. However, the elegant, finely dissected leaves<br />

are very distinctive, and it seems justifiable to accept it as a good<br />

species.<br />
