This member of the
Asteraceae family was given this name by George Claridge Druce in
1917. It is found
in south-western Namibia and north-western South Africa, growing in a
real well drained soil with
little to some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to
nine
centimetres in diameter, the entire plant to 50 or even 80 centimetres in
height. 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 from
Latin: furca, referring to the forks of the
branches.
This is a winter-grower. |
