Oedera multipunctata flowerheads

The yellow Oedera multipunctata flowerheads have from six to eleven two-channelled ray florets. The channels join each other before the ray tip. The rays spread around seven to twenty-five, comparatively tall and loosely clustered disc florets.

Each disc floret tube ends in five small, triangular petal lobes. Stamens and styles protrude far from the corolla mouths of these disc florets. The cylindrical style splits amid the anthers into linear stigma branches.

The specific name multipunctata is derived from the Latin words multi meaning many and punctum meaning point, referring to the many pointed parts of particularly the disc florets (Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; Manning, 2007; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org).
