Schistostephium crataegifolium flowerheads

The leaves of Schistostephium crataegifolium are pointedly lobed, sometimes cut deeply, the lowest ones stipule-like. The margins are entire or toothed, sometimes bristle-tipped. The leaves are about 4,5 cm long and 3 cm wide.

S. heptalobum has been sunken into this species. Expect some differences, now to be considered as intraspecies variability. 

Up to 30 yellow flowerheads grow in nearly flat, corymb-shaped clusters at stem-tips on long peduncles, no ray florets being present. The dome-shaped flowerhead is about 1 cm in diameter. The involucre is rounded, its bracts growing in several rows. The outer florets of the disciform heads are female, the corollas tubular throughout.

Flowering happens from summer to after mid-autumn (Pooley, 1998; Van Wyk and Malan, 1997; iNaturalist).
