Its leaves are lanceolate, dark green and covered with fine hairs. The flowers, which appear between June and August, are pink to purple and arranged in dense umbels. The scent of the flowers is intense and attracts many insects. After flowering, the plant forms elongated fruit capsules that release a large number of seeds when ripe. The seeds are equipped with long, white fibres that serve as a flying apparatus and facilitate dispersal by wind. Due to its high adaptability, Asclepias syriaca can dominate in different habitats and suppress local species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

They are mainly distributed in the tropics and subtropics and include shrubs, trees, lianas and some succulent species. A characteristic feature is the milky sap, which is present in many species and often contains toxic alkaloids. The flowers are often showy and the fruits usually pods containing many seeds with hair crowns. Important representatives are the oleander, various Stephanotis species as ornamental plants, Jatropha curcas as a source of biofuel and Rauwolfia serpentina, from which drugs against high blood pressure are obtained.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Climate change<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Benefits from climate change<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nAsclepias syriaca has not yet filled its potentially suitable habitat under current climate conditions. It benefits from climate change because in the future its potentially suitable habitat will increase. The environmental factors that most influence its spread are soil type, road infrastructure, precipitation in summer, rail infrastructure and temperature in summer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Positive effects<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Beekeeping<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nDue to its popularity with bees and butterflies, Asclepias syriaca has been used in beekeeping and as an ornamental plant.
