Corymbium villosum inflorescence

Corymbium villosum inflorescence
Author: Ivan Lätti
Photographer: Judd Kirkel Welwitch

The flat-topped inflorescence of Corymbium villosum comprises numerous small, five-lobed florets that may be white or mauve. A bit unusual for Asteraceae, each flowerhead comprises only one bisexual disc floret with lobes longer than their tube. The bracts below each head are hairy and sticky.

Flowering happens in spring (Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
