Oedera multipunctata stem-tip flowerhead cluster

Oedera multipunctata flowerheads grow at stem-tips in cymes of up to five. Their stalks or peduncles may sometimes be long, from 3 mm to 15 mm. Four of these peduncles, dull purple to brown and hairy, grow from the stem-tip in picture. Green, channelled, incurving leaves surround the stalk bases; the involucres above them mainly olive-coloured.

The ray florets at the top are at least twice as long as the exserted tips of the visible disc floret anthers and stigmas in their midst.

Flowering happens from late winter to after midspring (Manning and Goldblatt, 1997; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist; https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org).
