Felicia tenella
1832Summary
Felicia tenella, the bristle felicia, is an annual, sometimes biennial, herbaceous plant that may be slightly woody at its base, of 5–70 cm (2–27+1⁄2 in) tall, that is assigned to the family Asteraceae. The species is very variable in size and hairiness. Its branches may be erect or ascending, and the leaves are narrowly line-shaped, 2–5 cm (4⁄5–2 in) long and about 1 mm (0.04 in) wide. The leaves have a callous tip, lack visible nerves, and are mostly rigidly ciliate. The flower heads sit individually at the tip of stalks, have an involucre of three whorls of bracts, and about thirty light blue ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets. Four subspecies are recognised. The species naturally occurs in the Northern Cape and Western Cape provinces of South Africa....read more on Wikipedia.
