Heliotropium europaeum L., Sp. Pl.: 130 (1753)
H. europaeum var. tenuiflorum Guss., Fl. Sicul. Prodr. 1: 205 (1827)


Heliotropium europaeum is a species of heliotrope known by the common names European Heliotrope and European Turnsole. It is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, but it is widely naturalized elsewhere, such as in Australia and North America. It grows as a roadside weed in some places. This is an annual herb growing from a taproot and reaching maximum heights near 40 centimeters. The stem and oval-shaped leaves are covered in soft hairs. The inflorescences are coiled spikes of white flowers with fuzzy or bristly sepals. Each flower is just a few millimeters wide. The fruit is a bumpy nutlet.

Hola Ferran,
creia que era una eruga. Bons detalls. Espero vago bé l'oliva doncs, encara que el preus són ruinosos. El barça et va fer passar tots els mals aquell dia !
