Malesherbia fasciculata is a subshrub that is native to the subtropics of Northern and Central Chile. [1]
M. fasciculata is described as ashy, with many stems originating from the same root covered in very short hairs. [2] M. fasciculata grows up to 1-2 feet tall and has "leathery" leaves. [3]
The flowers of M. fasciculata are white with red sepals, dark purple anthers, and are globular in shape. [4] [5] Flowers bloom in November. [3]
M. fasciculata was one of the species selected for the 1000 Plant Transcriptome project. [6]
M. fasciculata was originally described in 1881/1882 by David Don. [1] Similar to other species in the genera, Max J. Roem would attempt and fail to reclassify the species as Gynopleura in 1846. [7]
There are two varieties of M. fasciculata; var. fasciculata and var. glandulosa.
M. fasciculata var. fasciculata (D.don) is found in Coquimbo, Valparaíso, Metropolitana and Del General Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins in a variety of biomes. [8]
M. fasciculata var. glandulosa (Ricardi) is much more localized, having only been identified at the Hurtado river's basin within the Coquimbo region. [9]
The varieties differ from each other by the number of flowers formed on each stem, var. fasciculata will have 3-7 flowers whereas var. glandulosa has a single flower per stem. [8] [9] Additionally, var. glandulosa has matted hairs and glandular hairs on the leaves and apex of sepals. [9]
