OTHONNA FILICAULIS

This member of the Asteraceae family was described by Nicolaas Joseph von Jacquin in 1797. It is found in Namibia and South Africa, growing in in grit, with some water and lots of sun. The caudex will get three centimetres in diameter, the veining stems up to 40 centimetres. The flowers are yellow, and it can be reproduced by cuttings as well.

The genera name from the Greek othone, 'a linen cloth or napkin', in allusion to the downy covering of some of the earlier known species. The species name means 'with threadlike stems'. This might be a winter-grower. A wild plant by David Gwynne-Evans, Casabio.org.
