Abstract

The genus Helianthus (Asteraceae) includes about 100 species (Watson 1929), the majority of which are native to North America. The genus provides two food plants, H. annuus, the sunflower, and H. tuberosus, the topinambour or Jerusalem artichoke. Several varieties of H. annuus, as well as other species of the genus, are sometimes cultivated as ornamentals (Rogers et al. 1982).
