Woolly Mullein Verbascum Thapsus ILLINOIS RANGE Plant with Flowers

woolly mullein Verbascum thapsus Kingdom: Plantae FEATURES Division: Magnoliophyta Woolly mullein is also known as common mullein, Class: Magnoliopsida beggar’s blanket, flannel plant, velvet plant and Order: Scrophulariales witch’s candle. This biennial plant’s first year of growth shows only a basal rosette of fuzzy leaves. Family: Scrophulariaceae The second year has a basal rosette plus leaves on ILLINOIS STATUS the flowering stalk. Leaves are large, fuzzy and clasp the stem. Yellow flowers develop on a clublike common, nonnative flower stalk. Flowers, about one inch wide, have five yellow petals. Fruits are five-parted, woody capsules. Woolly mullein may attain a height of two to six feet. BEHAVIORS Woolly mullein may be found throughout Illinois. It grows in field edges, wood edges, prairies and roadsides. Flowers are produced from May through September. Woolly mullein is a native of Europe that was brought to the United States by early European settlers. In ancient Rome, mullein stalks dipped in tallow were used by Roman soldiers as torches. Roman women used the yellow dye in the plant to color their hair. ILLINOIS RANGE plant with flowers © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2021. Biodiversity of Illinois.

Verbascum Thapsus By: Dave Long, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe
UCCE Master Gardeners of Lake Tahoe (Invasive) Tahoe Plants and Trees Wooley Mullein – Verbascum Thapsus By: Dave Long, UCCE Master Gardener of Lake Tahoe The Wooley or Common Mullein is one of those plants that looks like it belongs here in the Tahoe Basin but is in reality not a native plant, originating in Eurasia. It is considered a noxious weed in some states and an invasive weed having a limited environmental impact statewide in California. The plant is fairly common in disturbed areas, especially dry gravelly areas next to water channels and soil benches of braided streams. Mullein is also found along roadsides and in reclamation areas. The Common Mullein is a member of the figwort family (Scrophulariaceae) that also includes our many types of native Indian paintbrush (Castilleja spp.) and the non-native garden snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus). The plant is an annual, biennial or short lived perennial (depending on environmental conditions) that during the first year (or 2) maintains a compact basal rosette of wooly, grey green oblong-obovate leaves, that may be up to 10 inches in length. During the second (occasionally 3rd) year a central flower stalk forms with leaves of decreasing size along the lower portion of the flower stalk. Under favorable conditions the flower stock may reach 5 foot or more in height. Cold and numerous freeze thaw cycles have little effect on the appearance of the leaved basal rosette, which is one of the first plants to emerge from winter dormancy. The flower stalk may remain erect, though dry and dead for a season or more.

Numbers and Types of Arthropods Overwintering on Common Mullein, Verbascum Thapsus L
J. ENTOMOL. SOC. BRIT. COLUMBIA 100, DECEMBER 2003 79 Numbers and types of arthropods overwintering on common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L. (Scrophulariaceae), in a central Washington fruit-growing region DAVID R. HORTON and TAMERA M. LEWIS USDA-ARS, 5230 KONNOWAC PASS Rd., WAPATO, WA, UNITED STATES 98951 ABSTRACT Densities and types of arthropods overwintering on common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L., in a fruit-growing region of Central Washington were determined. Over 45,000 arthropods were collected from 55 plants (5 plants from each of 11 sites), dominated numerically by Acari and Thysanoptera. Insects representing 8 orders and 29 families were identified, distributed both in the basal leaf rosettes and in the stalk material of the plants. One specialist insect herbivore of mullein, the mullein thrips, Haplothrips verbasci (Osborn), was abundant at all sites. Several pest and predatory taxa that commonly occur in orchards were also collected, suggesting that mullein may be a source of overwintered pests or predators moving into orchards in early spring. Pest taxa included primarily western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)), Lygus spp., and tetranychid spider mites. Common predators included phytoseiid mites and minute pirate bugs (Orius tristicolor (White)). Sites that were geographically close to one another were not more similar (in taxonomic composition of overwintering arthropods) than more distantly separated sites. Key words: common mullein, overwintering, orchard pests, predatory arthropods, mullein thrips, western flower thrips, Orius tristicolor, mites INTRODUCTION Common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L. (Scrophulariaceae), is a biennial herb native to Eurasia (Munz 1959) but now common throughout North America. The species occurs in open waste areas, along fence lines, in overgrazed pastures, and along river bottoms, often found growing in large single-species stands.

CHARACTERIZATION of SCROPHULARIACEAE BASED on GROSS MORPHOLOGY and PETIOLE ANATOMY *Saikat Naskar PG Department of Botany, Barasat Govt
Indian Journal of Plant Sciences ISSN: 2319–3824(Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jps.htm 2015 Vol. 4 (4) October-December, pp. 121-126/Naskar Research Article CHARACTERIZATION OF SCROPHULARIACEAE BASED ON GROSS MORPHOLOGY AND PETIOLE ANATOMY *Saikat Naskar PG Department of Botany, Barasat Govt. College, Barasat, Kolkata- 700124 *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT The family Scrophulariaceae s.l. has been treated differently by different taxonomists. In modern phylogenetic based classifications many traditional members of Scrophulariaceae have been placed under different families. Therefore in the present study gross morphological and petiole anatomical characters have been used to characterize the family Scrophulariaceae s.l. to understand the morphological and petiole anatomical distinctness among the families which are disintegrated from Scrophulariaceae s.l. INTRODUCTION Scrophulariaceae is considered as a problem family. It was treated variously by plant taxonomists. Scrophulariaceae s.l. is the largest family under Lamiales and has worldwide distribution from tropical to temperate regions. This family is recognisable by its bilaterally symmetric flowers, axile placentation with numerous ovules, capsular fruits and seed with endosperm. But, Scrophulariaceae shares these important morphological characters with related families. Due to absence of any morphological synapomorphic characters the monophyly of this family was in question. Bentham (1876) classified Scrophulariaceae into three subfamilies, viz. Pseudosolaneae, Antirrhinoideae and Rhinanthoideae where Pseudosolaneae was defined as a link with Solanaceae. Pennell (1935) suggested that the similarity of Scrophulariaceae with Solanaceae is actually derived independently within Scrophulariaceae. Therefore he eliminated subfamily Pseudosolaneaea and placed its genera to Antirrhinoideae. Melchior (1964) the included the families Orobanchaceae, Globulariaceae, Selaginaceae, Plantaginaceae and Lentibulariaceae within Scrophulariaceae.
