Taxonomy
Actinotus moorei was described by Tasmanian dentist and botanist Leonard Rodway in 1896, based on a name by Ferdinand von Mueller.[4]
Description
Actinotus moorei is a small tufted perennial herb that can reach 10 cm in height. It differs from other Actinotus species in Tasmania by its leaves, which have the lamina divided into three segments.[4]
