About Ursinia anthemoides (L.) Poir.
Ursinia anthemoides, commonly known as solar fire, is an annual herbaceous flowering plant that belongs to the genus Ursinia. It is native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa. This species produces yellow or orange daisy-like inflorescences. Its fruits have both pappus and hairs, which allow its seeds to be easily dispersed by wind. There are two recognized subspecies: Ursinia anthemoides subsp. anthemoides, and Ursinia anthemoides subsp. versicolor (DC.) Prassler. The species was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in the 1759 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
