Alternanthera caracasana ( Catalan; Valencian )

provided by wikipedia CA

Alternanthera caracasana és una espècie de planta dins la família amarantàcia. És una planta nadiua d'Amèrica central i d'Amèrica del Sud, però s'ha estès a molts altres llocs, inclosos els Països Catalans, com a mala herba. La planta té unes llargues tiges prostrades cobertes per petites fulles que varien de forma des d'hexagonal a arrodonides. Té un rizoma i sovint arrela des dels seus nòduls. Les flors són petites i blanques. És una planta ruderal que creix a les vores dels camins i en zones sovint trepitjades.

Alternanthera caracasana

provided by wikipedia EN

Alternanthera caracasana is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae known by the common names khakiweed, washerwoman and mat chaff flower. It is native to Central and South America but is well-known elsewhere as a noxious weed. It is naturalized in some areas and invasive in others and can be found across the southern half of the United States, Australia (where many people are unaware it is not native), Spain and parts of Africa. The plant has long, prostrate stems covered in small leaves which vary in shape from diamond to rounded. It grows from a rhizome and often roots from its lower nodes. Each spike inflorescence is under a centimeter wide and is covered in tiny stiff white flowers. This is a tough weed of lots, roads, railroad tracks, cleared areas, and other places that are rough, sandy, and often well-traveled.

It is often confused with khaki burr, which it is related to, but it sports masses of sharp V-shaped prickles that are easily detached and embed themselves in the feet and skin.

Inflorescencias

Descripción

A.caracasana es una planta herbácea de 15-35 cm de altura. Los tallos están postrados y cubiertos de pequeñas hojas que varían en forma de diamante a redondeadas. Crece de un rizoma y, a menudo, de las raíces de sus nodos. Cada espiga de inflorescencia tiene un centímetro de ancho y está cubierto de diminutas flores de color blanco.

Dentro de la familia Amaranthaceae se diferencia por tener las hojas opuestas y las flores dispuestas en inflorescencias glomerulares axilares. La especie se caracteriza por poseer tallos pubescentes y hojas pecioladas ovaladas. Los tépalos son grandes y poseen una espina apical de hasta 1 mm y pseudoestaminodios alesnado-filiformes.[1]

Distribución y hábitat

Es nativa de América Central y del Sur, pero es bien conocido en otros lugares como malas hierbas nocivas. Está naturalizado en algunas zonas y en otras son invasoras y se puede encontrar en toda la mitad sur de los Estados Unidos y en España y partes de África. Esta es una maleza difícil que se encuentra caminos, vías férreas, áreas despejadas, y otros lugares de arena y, a menudo, viajera.

A.caracasana es una especie introducida en las Islas Canarias donde se ha naturalizado.

Taxonomía

Alternanthera caracasana fue descrita por Humb., Bonpl. & Kunth y publicado en Nova Genera et Species Plantarum (quarto ed.) 2(7): 205. 1817[1818].[2]
