Common name: Sunflower Sinhala name: Suriyakanta (සූරියකාන්ත) Tamil name: Sooriyakanthi (சூரியகாந்தி) Scientific name: Helianthus Description: Sunflowers are usually tall annual or perennial plants that in some species can grow to a height of 300 cm (120 in) or more. Each "flower" is actually a disc made up of tiny flowers, to form a larger false flower to better attract pollinators. The plants bear one or more wide, terminal capitula (flower heads made up of many tiny flowers), with bright yellow ray florets (mini flowers inside a flower head) at the outside and yellow or maroon (also known as a brown/red) disc florets inside. Several ornamental cultivars have red-colored ray florets; all of them stem from a single original mutant. The petiolate leaves are dentate and often sticky. The lower leaves are opposite, ovate, or often heart-shaped. This genus is distinguished technically by the fact that the ray florets (when present) are sterile, and by the presence on the disk flowers of a pappus that is of two awn-like scales that are caducous (that is, easily detached and falling at maturity). Some species also have additional shorter scales in the pappus, and one species lacks a pappus entirely. Another technical feature that distinguishes the genus more reliably, but requires a microscope to see, is the presence of a prominent, multicellular appendage at the apex of the style. Further, the florets of a sunflower are arranged in a natural spiral. Variability is seen among the perennial species that make up the bulk of those in the genus. Some have most or all of the large leaves in a rosette at the base of the plant and produce a flowering stem that has leaves that are reduced in size. Most of the perennials have disk flowers that are entirely yellow, but a few have disk flowers with reddish lobes. One species, H. radula, lacks ray flowers altogether. Medicinal uses: The seed and sprouts of the common sunflower have many medicinal uses. The edible seed and the sprout have an abundance of nutrients and biological activities and have many antioxidants such as phenolic acids, flavonoids and vitamins. The common sunflower has many antioxidant effects which serve as a protective function for cellular damage. Their phytochemical constituents, which include phenolic acids, flavonoids and tocopherol (vitamin E), have many potential benefits. The sunflower seed and sprout also have high concentrations of vitamins A, B, and C and are high in niacin. They also have many minerals such as calcium, potassium and iron. Sunflower seed extract contain antidiabetic effects where secondary metabolites within those extracts are able to control glucose levels effectively. The bioactive peptides of the common sunflower are known to have antihypertensive effects. Sunflower oil also helps in anti-inflammatory activity, prevents gastric damage and is a therapeutic alternative in the healing process for microscopical and clinical wounds.
