Osteospermum moniliferum flowerheads

The yellow daisies beautifying Osteospermum moniliferum bushes during the cooler months of the year have rings of female ray florets around the discs full of male, pollen florets.

This is why the fruits that come later, from female florets only of course, sit in a ring until they fall, or are eaten by birds or children.

The spreading rays in picture have their tiny styles exserted over the bases of the spreading, channelled, almost oblong blades. The tips of the styles are two-branched. These branches curve down and lean away from the disc, probably reducing the chances of self-pollination (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Manning, 2009; iNaturalist).
