what is pokok kapal terbang?
Chromolaena
odorata is a rapidly growing perennial herb. It is a multi-stemmed shrub to 2.5
m (100 inches) tall in open areas. It has soft stems but the base of the shrub
is woody. In shady areas it becomes etiolated and behaves as a creeper, growing
on other vegetation. It’s leaves give off a pungent, aromatic odour when
crushed.The white to pale pink tubular flowers are in panicles of 10 to 35
flowers that form at the ends of branches. The seeds are achenes and are
somewhat hairy. They are mostly spread by the wind, but at the same time can
cling to fur, clothes and machinery, enabling long distance dispersal. Seed
production is about 80000 to 90000 per plant. The plant also can regenerate
from the roots. In favourable conditions the plant can grow more than 3 cm per
day. Because of that C. odorata is a very widely distributed tropical shrub
that is still expanding its range. This plant is considered one of the world’s
worst weeds. It continues to spread due to its effective short- and
long-distance dispersal.
