Leptinella reptans (Asteraceae) 2:357
Leptinella reptans is a reasonably common native herb of  wet forests, river banks and wet depressions. It is prostrate and has small (about 2-6 cm long, and about 1-2 cm wide) very finely divided leaves - three times divided and like small, soft fern leaves. The leaves tend to be clustered, sometimes giving the impression of being in rosettes, although these clusters are clearly joined by stems. The flowers are pale, in small button-like heads only about 5mm wide. The heads are on slender stalks about 2-6cm long.
