About Oedera imbricata Lam.

Oedera imbricata Lam. is a small, sprawling shrublet that reaches 50 cm in height. Its leaves measure 15 x 5 mm, are hard and stiff in texture, have a prominent midrib, and grow densely packed along stems. It produces yellow flowerheads in spring, each 40 mm wide. A diagnostic feature of this species is that these visible yellow structures are actually clusters of multiple individual flowerheads; the outer individual flowerheads in the cluster have visible ray-florets.
