This member of the Asteraceae family was
given this name by Carl Linnaeus the younger in 1782. It is found in
South Africa, growing in a well
drained soil with some water and lots of sun. The caudex can
grow to three centimetres, the plant will raise to 18 centimetres,
25 with the yellow flowers.
The genera name from the Greek
othone, 'a linen cloth or napkin', in allusion to the downy
covering of some of the earlier known species. The species name
means 'feather-shaped'. |
