Asteridea pulverulenta (common name - common bristle daisy)[4] is a species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, which is endemic to Western Australia,[3] in the south-west.[4] It was first described in 1839 by John Lindley.[1][2]
Description
It is an annual herb, growing on sandy soils to heights of from 5 cm to 70 cm. Its white flowers may seen from October to January on coastal dunes and sandplains.[4]
Lindley describes the plant as having a dusty indumentum ("undique pilis mollibus ramentaceis pulverulenta"),[2] and uses the adjective, pulverulenta ("powdered, dusty"),[5] as the epithet to describe this characteristic of the plant.
