This member of the Asteraceae
family was given this name by
William Henry Harvey in 1865. It is found in the central South
Africa, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some to
lots of sun. The caudex can grow to eight centimetres, the branches
from fifteen to 60 centimetres. The flowers are yellow.
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 'having blunt lobes'. |
