Heads of Flaveria may be either radiate or discoid; when both are present in the same capitulescence, the discoid heads tend to be central and the radiate heads peripheral. Many species of Flaveria have persistent sheathing leaf bases that ring the stems after the leaves have fallen.</p><!-- --><p>Flaveria is notable because certain species exhibit C3 photosynthesis, some C3–C4 (intermediate) photosynthesis, and others (F. brownii, F. bidentis, F. campestris, and F. trinervia in the United States) classic C4 photosynthesis.</p> |tables= |references={{Treatment/Reference |id=powell1978a |text=Powell, A.
