    Cotula duckittiae old flowerhead

    Cotula duckittiae old flowerhead
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The ageing Cotula duckittiae flowerhead has its oblong ray floret blades here turning brown before the disc florets lose their colour. The much shorter involucral bracts below are green as earlier with maroon margins.

    The leaves don’t reach near the flowerheads in height (Manning, 2009; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
