Ray-florets 14–25; laminae 5–7.5 × 2.5–3.5 mm. Disc-florets 25–60; corollas 5–6 mm, lobes 1.5–2 mm. Cypselae 3–5 mm, 3–4-angled. 2n = 28.


Phenology: Flowering late spring–summer.
Habitat: Sandy and rocky coasts
Elevation: 0–10 m

Discussion

Borrichia ×cubana is a fertile F1 hybrid between B. frutescens and B. arborescens. It is found where the parental species are sympatric; backcrosses of the hybrid with either parent appear to be infertile.
