filipendula

H. filipendula is a fodder plant for wild and domestic grazers.

However, the generic name, Filipendula, comes from filum, meaning "thread" and pendulus, meaning "hanging."

H. filipendula is native to semiarid Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia.

Taller vegetation is more common, particularly reed Phragmites australis and meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria.

The larvae feed on the leaves of various plants, including Salix, Hippophae, Betula and Filipendula ulmaria.

Tall-herb and Salix communities with Rumex acetosa, Filipendula, and abundant ferns may have been common in wetter areas.

They are closely related to the genera Filipendula and Spiraea, and are native to mountainous damp woodland in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Main larval host plants are in genera Agrimonia, Filipendula, Fragaria, Lapsana, Potentilla, Poterium and Sanguisorba.

Meadow steppes have developed in the lower parts of mountain slopes and are covered with various clovers, daisies, filipendula, meadow-grass and foxtail millet, reaching the height of 60-80 cm.

(sensu lato) Origanum, Senecio, Scabiosa, Succisa ,Ligustrum , Filipendula....

Summer colour is provided by the spectacularly vigorous species in the long herbaceous border - Thalictrum, Filipendula, Eupatorium, Helenium, Phlox and Sidalcea dominate the display.

For example, the genus Alsobia is a segregate from the genus Episcia; The genera Filipendula and Aruncus are segregates from the genus Spiraea.

The larvae feed on Crataegus, Filipendula ulmaria, Populus, Prunus, Rosa, Rubus, Sorbus, Salix, Symphytum officinale and Vaccinium.

The larvae feed on Agrimonia eupatoria, Filipendula, Fragaria moschata, Fragaria vesca, Fragaria viridis, Potentilla tabernaemontani and Sanguisorba minor.

The larvae feed on Agrimonia, Fragaria, Filipendula, Geum urbanum, Potentilla anserina, Rubus caesius, Rubus fruticosus and Rubus idaeus.

That said, established gardeners are almost always oversupplied with artemesia, coneflower, coreopsis, daylily, filipendula, globe thistle, golden glow, iris, lady's mantle, lambs' ears, nepeta, phlox, salvia, spurge, tradescantia and yarrow.

Other conspicuous plants include Meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria, Marsh-marigold Caltha palustris, Ragged Robin Lychnis flos-cuculi, Watermint Mentha aquatica and Southern Marsh-orchid Dactylorhiza praetermissa.

Some difficult cases exist however, so that the term indehiscent follicle is sometimes used, for example with the genus Filipendula, which has indehiscent fruits that could be considered intermediate between a (dehiscent) follicle and an (indehiscent) achene.

Part of Marston Lake, the largest of the three permanent lakes, is fringed with tall fen vegetation, characterised by Bulrush, Typha latifolia, Meadowsweet, Filipendula ulmaria, and Common Marsh-bedstraw, Galium palustre.

The larvae are recorded as feeding on Succisa pratensis and species of Digitalis, Plantago,Veronica (V.dubravnaya, etc.), Geranium,Sambucus, Gentiana, Valeriana, Lonicera, Filipendula, Spiraea and Viburnum.

Recorded foodplants include Rubus, Prunus spinosa, Crataegus, Quercus, Carpinus, Betula, Salix, Erica, Vaccinium, Spiraea, Filipendula, Lythrum, Potentilla, Rosa, Calluna and Hippophae.

Its yellow-green flowers are just coming into bloom, surrounded by halos of gold: golden filipendula, golden maple, golden hosta, golden ivy, golden privet and gold-veined honeysuckle, a little heart-shaped green leaf with gold veins that cascades over the rocks.

Other meadow flowers include for Common Knapweed Centaurea nigra, Meadow Buttercup Ranunculus acris, Yellow Rattle Rhinanthus minor, Cowslip Primula veris, Meadowsweet Filipendula ulmaria, and Ox-eye Daisy Leucanthemum vulgare.

Mr. Jenner Weir was the first to experiment with ten species of small birds in his aviary, and he found that none of them would eat the following smooth-skinned conspicuous caterpillars-Abraxas grossulariata, Diloba caeruleocephala, Anthrocera filipendula, and Cucullia verbasci.

The genus was formerly treated as also containing the herbaceous species now segregated into the genera Filipendula and Aruncus; recent genetic evidence has shown that Filipendula is only distantly related to Spiraea, belonging in the subfamily Rosoideae.
