Emilia fosbergii is a species of plant in the sunflower family.[1][2][3] It is commonly known in the United States as Florida tasselflower.[4]
Taxonomy
Emilia fosbergii has been collected in many places for many years, the specimens regarded as belonging to E. coccinia, E. sagittata, or E. javanica. A reexamination of a large number of specimens led Nicolson to recognize it as a distinct species in 1975. He named the species in honor of Francis Raymond Fosberg.[5]
Distribution
Emilia fosbergii is widely distributed in tropical and semitropical parts of the world: Africa, South and Southeast Asia, northern Australia, North and South America, and various oceanic islands. Its region of origin is the subject of some dispute; some say it is native to Africa, while others say Asia or South America.[6][7][8] It is reportedly naturalized in scattered locations in the United States, including Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.[6][9]
