Upper branches transformed into spines. From: Kallersjo, M. 1991. The genus Athanasia (Compositae-Anthemideae). Opera Bot. 106: 1-76. [All rights reserved]
Athanasia minuta is unmistakable with its opposite, basally connate leaves, sessile capitula, and dorsiventrally flattened cypselas. The inner involucral bracts perform hydrochastic movements. After flowering the bracts are bent inwards, over the receptacle, thus enclosing the cypselas. When exposed to water they straighten and the cypselas are released. A. minuta ssp. minuta is distinguished from A. minuta ssp. inermis by the presence of spines. From: Kallersjo, M. 1991. The genus Athanasia (Compositae-Anthemideae). Opera Bot. 106: 1-76.
