This medium-sized butterfly has a wingspan of 3.2 to 4.0 cm. The upper wing is orange with black markings and the striking pattern of the underside shows a zigzag pattern of brown and white bands (Nielsen 1999; Schweitzer et al. 2011).Caterpillars are black with white variegation along the sides and a black head (Allen et al. 2005). The larvae feed on the undersurface of host plant leaves where they live in a web of silk when young, growing more solitary as they develop. Late instar caterpillars overwinter.

Fasciated plants in spontaneous species are often described simply as botanic curiosities but when the phenotype it is not a monstrosity, fasciated mutants can be evaluated in plant breeding programmes in crops or in ornamental species. For example, the significant increase in locule number in tomato cultivars is due to fasciation, while in Celosia cristata the band-like shape of its inflorescence makes it floriculturally attractive (Gorter, 1965). Fasciated plants have also been used to reveal how meristem structure and function are established and maintained in normal plants (Williams and Fletcher, 2005). For example, an extracellular signalling pathway in SAM maintenance depending on the activities of CLAVATA genes has been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana through molecular characterization of fasciated mutants (Clark, 2001). Plants with mutations in any of three loci, CLV1, CLV2 or CLV3, show a progressive increase in meristem size beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life, indicating a loss of cell division restriction (Clark et al., 1993, 1997). Available evidence indicates that CLV3 encodes a small secreted peptide expressed in outer cell layers (Fletcher et al., 1999) and likely binds to the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase CLV1 and its putative dimerization partner CLV2, which are expressed in inner cell layers (Clark et al., 1997; Stone et al., 1998; Lenhard and Laux, 2003). Another key element of CLV signalling pathway is the WUSCHEL (WUS) gene product. WUS encodes a novel subtype of the homeodomain transcription factor family that is expressed near the boundary of the CZ and RZ in shoot and floral meristems (Mayer et al., 1998). Both the SAM and floral meristems of wus mutant plants terminate prematurely after the formation of a few organs, indicating that WUS is necessary to promote stem cell activity throughout development (Laux et al., 1996). The WUS expression domain is maintained by FASCIATA1 (FAS1) and FASCIATA2 (FAS2), which encode components of chromatin assembly factor-1 (Kaya et al., 2001). Regular production of leaf primordia that is reflected in stable phyllotaxis and plastochron is another primary function of the SAM. The phyllotaxis is altered in clv and fas A. thaliana mutants as well as in other mutants that show increased SAM size: mgoun1 (mgo1), mgoun2 (mgo2), enhanced response to abscisic acid (era1), pluripetala (plp), abnormal phyllotaxy1 (abph1), corona (cna), jabba-1D, plastochron 1, and shoot organization (sho) (Itoh et al., 1998, 2000; Laufs et al., 1998; Running et al., 1998; Bonetta et al., 2000; Giulini et al., 2004; Green et al., 2005; Williams et al., 2005). Although these genes are supposed to play distinct roles in leaf initiation, it is generally considered that the initiation pattern of leaves is closely associated with the size and shape of the SAM (Fleming, 2005; Reinhardt, 2005). Leaves are not generated in a random fashion, but rather in a consistent pattern over space and time, producing the regular architecture of the plant. Plant hormones have been associated with this process. In particular, auxin appears to be a central player in leaf and flower formation and as a component of phyllotactic patterning (Glweiler et al., 1998; Reinhardt et al., 2000, 2003; Vernoux et al., 2000; Heisler et al., 2005; Reinhardt, 2005; Jnsson et al., 2006; Smith et al., 2006).

In sunflower (Helianthus annuus), the artificial induction of stem fasciation by auxin treatments has been described as far back as 1940 (Irvine, 1940) and, more recently, two recessive mutations that induce analogous phenotypes were isolated (Shattuck, 1985; Jambhulkar, 2002). Shattuck (1985) evaluated the inheritance of a spontaneous mutant named head and leaf syndrome (hl), while Jambhulkar (2002) has more recently described the morphology and the genetic control of a fasciated mutant induced by gamma rays. Both mutants showed well-documented effects of band-shaped fasciation such as high leaf number, abnormal phyllotaxis and stem enlargement. Fasciation of sunflower inflorescence has also been described by Stoenescu (1974) for the recessive f mutant. Only a preliminary analysis of these mutants' phenotype was reported, without any histological or physiological characterization.

Other lines of evidence suggest that elevated endogenous auxin levels significantly affect the stf phenotype. In particular, stf plants show a phenotype similar to that exhibited by auxin-over-producing plants. For example, the stf mutant showed epinastic cotyledons, reduced leaf expansion, and long hypocotyls under continuous white light. It is known that auxin influences hypocotyl elongation by light. For example, when compared with wild-type seedlings, auxin-over-producing superroot1 (sur1) and sur2 mutants, as well as 35S::iaaM transgenic seedlings, have longer hypocotyls when grown in light, yet exhibit normal hypocotyl length in the dark (Boerjan et al., 1995; Romano et al., 1995; Delarue et al., 1998). Furthermore, analogously to sur1 and yucca mutants (Boerjan et al., 1995; Zhao et al., 2001), explants of the stf seedlings could be cultured on medium lacking phytohormones, whereas wild-type explants died under these conditions. In this respect, it is noteworthy that in-vitro-cultured explants of fasciated mutants of A. thaliana (Mordhorst et al., 1998) and Mammillaria elongata (Papafotiou et al., 2001) showed a different behaviour than the wild types, suggesting that in these genotypes a genetic mechanism might operate through a hormonal imbalance (Gorter, 1965; Boke and Ross, 1978).

Hypocotyl disintegration concomitant with adventitious root development further supported that stf overproduced IAA. Disintegration and adventitious root formation at the base of hypocotyls could be the result of an increased concentration of, and/or a longer exposure to, IAA in these cells (Boerjan et al., 1995). In fact, if the amount of IAA to be transported from the apical part of the hypocotyl to its base is higher than the capacity to transport IAA, as in auxin overproduction mutants, IAA would accumulate in the lower regions of the hypocotyl, where it would exert its effect (Snchez-Bravo et al., 1992). The development of a high number of lateral roots expressed by stf seedlings is also consistent with a higher auxin level. Studies have shown that lateral root initiation is dependent on IAA transported from the shoot into the root (Ljung et al., 2001). An excess of adventitious and lateral roots has been detected in well-characterized IAA overproduction mutants of Arabidopsis (e.g. sur1, sur2, rooty and yucca) (Boerjan et al., 1995; King et al., 1995; Delarue et al., 1998; Zhao et al., 2001, 2002; Mikkelsen et al., 2004).

Once the snow is gone in the spring, the flowers begin to form buds and prepare to flower. But masses of cold air can still move through the region at night, causing frost as late as the month of June. The numbers indicate that frost events have increased in the past decade. From 1992 to 1998, on average 36.1 percent of the aspen sunflower buds were frosted. But for 1999-2000 the mean is 73.9 percent, and in only one year since 1998 have plants escaped all frost damage.

Inouye says the change happening here may be undetected by humans casually observing the area because these are all long-lived perennial plants. An individual sunflower, for instance, can live to be 50 or 75 years old.
