Euryops pectinatus
Euryops pectinatus, the grey-leaved euryops, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, endemic to rocky, sandstone slopes in the Western Cape of South Africa.
Description
It is a vigorous evergreen shrub growing to tall and wide, with silvery green, hairy leaves and yellow, daisy-like composite flowers in diameter. They bloom from early summer through to autumn and into winter in areas with mild climates.The fruits bear a single seed and are either hairless or covered in myxogenic hairs, and may also be topped by a pappus of white or brown bristles.
The Latin specific epithet pectinatus means “comb-like”, possibly referring to the deeply-divided, fernlike leaves.
