Cotula turbinata (common name ganskos in South Africa ,[2] funnel weed in Western Australia)[3] is a herb in the Asteraceae family native to the Cape Province, but found in India and in Australia [1]
Cotula turbinata is an annual herb, growing to heights of 5 cm to 40 cm,[3] and has hairy stems.[4] In Western Australia, it grows on sandy soils, in lawns and on road verges, where its white and yellow flowers may be seen from July to October.[3]
It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753.[1][5] The genus name, Cotula, comes from the Greek kotule meaning "small cup" and refers to the cupped area at the base of the leaves,[6] while the specific epithet, turbinata, is a botanical Latin adjective, which describes the flower as having the shape of a top.[7]
