rojasianthe superba
Strybing Arboretum
Golden Gate Park
San Francisco, California
"A newcomer to horticulturists was the appearance of Rojasianthe superba in 2006 in the entry garden of the San Francisco Botanical Garden. Pronounced (row-haas-e-anthy), this giant sunflower relative has no common name. The seeds of Rojasianthe were collected by a botanist on the slopes of a volcano in Guatemala, and sent to Dr. Don Mahony, Curator and Nursery Manager, to propagate. Currently, only SFBG and UC Berkeley grow this amazing specimen outside of its native habitat."
