Daphne cneorum, the garland flower or rose daphne, is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae, commonly found in various pine forests across Europe.[2][3] It is a prostrate spreading evergreen shrub to 20 cm (8 in), grown for its dense clusters of highly fragrant pink flowers in spring.[4][5][6] All parts of the plant are poisonous to humans.[7] Two common diseases are known as daphne sudden death syndrome and daphne virus X.[2][8][9]
The Latin specific epithet cneorum comes from Greek origins and means “like a small olive bush”.[10]
Habitat
[edit]In the Boreal age, Daphne cneorum was predominantly found in pine forests, alongside other species such as Galium boreale and Rubus saxatilis.[11] In more recent ages, this species is native to the mountains of central and southern Europe, including an area known as the Châtillonnais region and several parts of Ukraine.[11][3] Within these regions, Daphne cneorum is commonly found in pine forest, oak-pine forest, and beech-pine forest habitats.[3] Other species found in these habitats include Vaccinium myrtillus, Lycopodium annotinum, Pteridium aquilinum, Maianthemum bifolium and Trientalis europaea.[3] Daphne cneorum is typically found in well-lit patches of rocky soil, the foundation of which is generally carbonate rock.[12][3]
Diseases
[edit]In plant nurseries rose daphnes can be affected by various diseases. One of them is caused by the fungus Thielaviopsis basicola and is commonly known as daphne sudden death syndrome (DSDS).[2] In this disease, dark colored lesions grow along the roots, soon followed by discoloration of leaves, stunted growth, fainting, and then in the two weeks after developing foliar symptoms, death.[8][2]
One of the more common viruses affecting Daphne cneorum, and other species of the genus Daphne, is daphne virus X.[9] It was discovered that in-vitro Daphne cneorum cultures can be used as a growing medium to detect if other plants are infected with the disease.[9] This allows for faster identification of diseased plants, thus allowing for prevention of the spread to other plants within nurseries, gardens, etc.[9]
