Leysera gnaphalodes flowering and fruiting

The florets in the central discs of the Leysera gnaphalodes flowerheads are tiny, yet bisexual, their tubes ending in five yellow lobes at the top. Female ray florets spread in a ring around the discs.

The fruits to follow are slender, their pappus scales narrow. Pappuses of disc and ray florets are not quite identical in this species (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2007; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; iNaturalist).
