Siloxerus (formerly known as Rutidopsis; Asteraceae) 2:342
Siloxerus multiflorus (formerly known as Rutidopsis multiflora) is a rare native herb found on the north coast in dry forests in the Midlands and near the east coast. It is a very small, slender herb with opposite basal leaves. The flower heads are tiny, surrounded by papery bracts and clustered into compact heads. It can be confused with Hyalosperma demissum, but that species has solitary flower heads. Angianthus preissianus is another very small herb with a somewhat similar inflorescence to Siloxerus, but is a saltmarsh plant.
