Osteospermum sinuatum var. sinuatum back view of flowerhead

The back view of the Osteospermum sinuatum var. sinuatum flowerhead shows the main row of pointed involucral bracts with their membranous, transparent margins. Unusual in the picture is a second lower row of bracts around the base of the involucre.

The stalks, stem leaves and bracts of the plant are all pale and finely hairy (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Shearing and Van Heerden, 2008; Vahrmeijer, 1981; iNaturalist).
