Cineraria lobata flowerheads

The flowerheads of Cineraria lobata grow in loose clusters at stem-tips. One row of narrow, green bracts that cohere along their margins form the cup-shaped involucre.

Five to seven oblong, round-tipped yellow, female ray florets spread around yellow discs comprising numerous bisexual, five-lobed florets. The ray florets are about 5 mm long, spaced irregularly around the discs.

Flowering happens from late winter to spring but this varies across the wide range of the species distribution (Shearing and Van Heerden, 2008; Manning, 2007; Gledhill, 1981; iNaturalist).
