I was doing some work for a client this last week. I was training a gardener to build a compost pile so we went biomass gathering around the farm, bringing back piles of rotten fruit, cut grass and green weeds, along with dried grass and leaves so we could make alternating layers of greens and browns. While gathering rotten piles of brown grass from a recently cleared field, I discovered something annoying. Inside the rotting grass were pieces of wedelia stems, rooting and green, just waiting to be added to the compost pile where they could infect the gardens forever. I looked around at the area where the grass had been cut and saw lots of the same species growing among the grass. Wedelia, also known as Singapore daisy, or most properly under the tongue-twisting Latin name Sphagneticola trilobata is a pain-in-the-neck plant often used as an ornamental for its thick growth and pretty yellow flowers. It’s also known for reproducing rampantly “Wedelia is a mat forming perennial herb with rounded stems. Leaves are fleshy, usually 2 to 4 inches long and 1 to 5 inches wide, with irregularly toothed margins. Flowers are solitary, one inch in diameter and yellow-orange in color. New plants arise from nodes that root at the soil surface. Seed production is low and generally does not reproduce prolifically via seed. However, wedelia is able to escape from gardens to nearby areas via runners and fragmentation.” I know I tell you to “compost everything,” but there are times when we ha...

Hybridization between exotic and native species is of great interest to evolutionary biologists and ecologists because it usually shows a quick evolution of species and invasiveness. It has been reported that such hybridization frequently increases the adaptation and aggressiveness of the new hybrids. A hybrid between invasive Sphagneticola trilobata and its native congener S. calendulacea was recently found in subtropical China. S . calendulacea has a significantly higher tolerance to low temperature and weak light stress than S. trilobata and its range includes both tropical and temperate regions. This study examined how the tolerance of the new hybrid to low temperature and weak light conditions (LTWL), expanded its geographical range. All changes of phenotype, gas exchange parameters, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, contents of malonaldehyde (MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) indicated that hybridization slightly catalyzed the tolerance of the hybrid to LTWL condition and the responses of the hybrid were more similar with their invasive parent. The results demonstrate that the current hybrid population...

Sphagneticola trilobata is a flowering plant that belongs to the Asteraceae family. The plant goes by its most common names, such as Bay Biscayne creeping-daisy, Singapore oxey, and wedelia. The plant is a The plant bears small, fleshy green leaves. The leaves are shaped like small arrowheads and are usually very soft to touch. The speciality of the plant is its flowers which appear to be bright yellow. These small and round yellow flowers have 9-10 petals and look like daisies. Hence, they are known as creeping daisies and sometimes yellow daisies.

Plant Name Scientific Name: Sphagneticola trilobata Synonyms: Complaya trilobata, Silphium trilobatum, Thelechitonia trilobata, Wedelia lobata, W. trilobata Common Names: Wedelia, Bay Biscayne Creeping-oxeye, Creeping Ox-Eye, Creeping Daisy, Trailing Daisy, Singapore Daisy Plant Characteristics Duration: Annual, Perennial Growth Habit: Herb/Forb Hawaii Native Status: Introduced. This naturalized ornamental flowering groundcover is native to Mexico and Central and South America. Flower Color: Yellow Height: Usually under 1 foot (30 cm) tall Description: The solitary flower heads are 1 inch (2.5 cm) across and have yellow, 3-notched rays and yellow disks. The rays are either solid yellow or tipped with paler yellow. The leaves are fleshy, green, very shiny, irregularly toothed or serrate, and narrowly egg-shaped. Some of the leaves are tri-lobed with a pair of smaller side lobes. The plants are creeping and mat-forming, and the stems take root at the nodes. Here in Hawaii, Wedelia grows wild in open, disturbed areas at lower elevations, where it can form a dense groundcover and crowd out other low-growing plants. The plants spread by the rooting stems and occasionally by seed.
