Dimorphotheca cuneata , commonly known as the rain flower or white bietou, is a plant species native to South Africa (Fynbos, Succulent Karoo, Nama Karoo, etc.).[2] It is also widely grown as an ornamental and reportedly sparingly naturalized in Gila County in the US State of Arizona.[3][4]

Dimorphotheca cuneata is a subshrub that in its natural habitat will grow to be 100 cm (40 inches) tall. Cultivated specimens may read 150 cm (60 inches). Leaves are long and narrow, with a few large teeth on the edges, giving off a strong scent when crushed. Wild flower heads have white ray florets and yellow disc florets but this can vary in garden cultivars.[2]
