Gazania (Asteraceae) Not in the Student's Flora
At least one species of Gazania (G. linearis) has become naturalised in Tasmania. The flowers are conspicuous. It is a common garden plant and has become established along many roadsides. The leaves are thick and woolly white below, but the upper surface varies from green and glossy to woolly hairy and the shape varies from linear to pinnately divided. The taxonomy of these species is difficult to the existence of a range of cultivars, and perhaps naturally hybridising species.
