Gerbera hybrida
is a garden hybrid from the genus of
plants Asteraceae (daisy family). It was named in honour of German botanist and
medical doctor Traugott Gerber (1710-1743) who travelled extensively in Russia
and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus. Gerbera is native to tropical regions of
South America, Africa and Asia. The first scientific description of a Gerbera
was made by J.D. Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he
described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal
daisy or Barberton Daisy. Gerbera is also commonly known as the African Daisy. The
domesticated cultivars are mostly a result of a cross between Gerbera jamesonii
and another South African species Gerbera viridifolia. The cross is known as
Gerbera hybrida. Thousands of cultivars exist. Front Path garden Gift from LeighAnne Lawrence
