Felicia filifolia stiff leaves

There is more colour in the pinkish mauve Felicia filifolia ray florets than in the other flower photos posted. All four the F. filifolia subspecies occur in the Western Cape, some also elsewhere. The photo was taken in the Little Karoo.

The leaves are described in the filifolia specific name: The word is derived from the Latin words or word parts fili- meaning thread and folium meaning leaf, saying they are thread-like. Some plants have longer, thinner and less rigid leaves than the ones in picture (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Andrew, 2017; iNaturalist).
