Plant description

A widespread, low, annual, or perennial herb that grows on dunes and in bushland. The slightly fleshy leaves are variable and may be thickened in coastal plants. The fruit is an achene (dry, single-seeded) with white whiskery hairs attached, to assist its wind dispersal. Declared a weed in 2017 based on work done by Greg Keighrey.
