Gerbera consists of naturally occurring coumarin derivatives. It is also used as a model organism in studying formation of flowers. It is also the fifth most used cut flower in the world after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip. The Gerbera is commercially important.
Often the same flower can have petals of various different colors. The center of the flower is black sometimes. Different colors include white, yellow, orange, red, and pink. They vary largely in shape and size. Thousands of cultivars of the flower exist.
This cross is known as Gerbera hybrida. The domesticated cultivars are mostly a result of a cross between Gerbera jamesonii and the South African species of Gerbera viridifolia. Gerbera is very popular used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. The morphology of the flowers differs depending on their position in the capitulum. The capitulum, which has the initial appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers.
Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, 2-lipped ray florets in colors of yellow, orange, white, pink or red colors. Hooker in Curtis Botanical Magazine in 1889 where he described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton Daisy. The first description of a Gerbera was made by botanist J.D. It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to countries like South America, Africa, Madagascar, and tropical Asia. It is named in honor of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber.
