Name: Silphium glutinosum J. Allison
Reference: J. Allison Vascular Flora of the Ketona Dolomite Outcrops
Description: Named with Latin adjective meaning "sticky." The copious, glandular indument of S. glutinosum (and of S. perplexum) gives the plants a sticky feel. After removing specimens from the plant press, not only are the newspapers they were pressed between usually stained yellow but the plants stick to the paper. Fortunately, they are easily peeled away from the paper, producing a sound not unlike that made by separating Velcro (R).  Accession Code: VB.PC.92982.SILPHIUMGLUTINO
