Syncarpha argyropsis

Syncarpha argyropsis, commonly known in Afrikaans as the witsewejaartjie (white everlasting) or the beesoogsewejaartjie (cattle eye everlasting) and previously scientifically as Helipterum argyropsis, is a densely leafy, rounded shrublet. The stems are soft, reaching heights around 50 cm and becoming about equally wide. 

The simple, opposite leaves are stalkless, narrowly elliptic to obovate, and the margins entire. Channelled above from raised lateral margins by folding or curving in, the blades are soft silvery or felted to pale grey. The leaf tips are more pointed than rounded. The specific name, argyropsis, is from the Greek prefix argyr- meaning silver- and suffix -opsis meaning appearance, referring to the silvery leaf appearance.

The species distribution is along the southern coast of the Western Cape from Rooiels to Plettenberg Bay in the Eastern Cape. 

The habitat is coastal scrub on rocky and sandy, sometimes alkaline slopes. The habitat population is deemed of least concern early in the twenty first century (Manning, 2007; Mustart, et al, 1997; Andrew, 2017; iNaturalist; https://pza.sanbi.org; http://redlist.sanbi.org).
