This member of the
Asteraceae family
was given this name by Maurizio Dioli and Tadesse Mesfin in 2000. It is found in
eastern Etiopia, growing in a well drained soil or pure grit with some water and
lots of sun. The stem can grow to
three centimetres in diameter, the entire plant
to 120 centimetres in height, and might be a bit too skinny to be a caudiciform
at that time. The flowers are orange.
The genera is named after the
German zoologist, Dr Klein,1685-1759. The species name after the young
Isabella; daughter; of Maurizio Dioli, for her contribution to the
discovery of this species. |
