Arctotheca (Asteraceae) 2:374
Tasmania has two introduced species of Arctotheca. One is the extremely common and widespread weed species, Capeweed (A. calendula), which has deeply lobed leaves. The other species, Coast Capeweed (A. populifolia) is less common, and has almost entire leaves. The phyllaries (the bracts surrounding the head) are green and fused, and have long, sparse hairs.
