Edmondia sesamoides

Edmondia sesamoides is a shrublet with a few slender, erect stems tipped with everlasting type papery flowers in spring and early summer. The stems are white with a fine woolly covering and narrow green leaves that cling to the stem surface.

The disc flower is yellow and the enclosing involucre consists of attractive rows of protecting bracts that may be yellow, white or pink.

It is found from the Cederberg to Mossel Bay.

The genus Edmondia, in the family Asteraceae, consists of only three species, all endemic to the fynbos ecoregion (Bean and Johns, 2005; Wikipedia).
