Cotula turbinata
Cotula turbinata is a herb in the Asteraceae family native to the Cape Province, but found in India and in Australia
Cotula turbinata is an annual herb, growing to heights of 5 cm to 40 cm, and has hairy stems. In Western Australia, it grows on sandy soils, in lawns and on road verges, where its white and yellow flowers may be seen from July to October.
It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The genus name, Cotula, comes from the Greek kotule meaning "small cup" and refers to the cupped area at the base of the leaves, while the specific epithet, turbinata, is a botanical Latin adjective, which describes the flower as having the shape of a top.
