Information
leaves opposite and alternate, mostly tufted, linear, entire, silky-villous or silvery; heads umbellate at the ends of the branches and twigs, pedicels 1 1/2–3 times as long as the fl.-heads; outer inv. scales densely silky, membrane-edged; inner not septiferous; rays broadly obovate, 3-toothed. Often confounded in Herbaria with E. racemosus, which is much less common. Many of Drege's distributed specimens marked “ racemosus ” belong to this; also one of the specimens in Hb. Thunb.! It is readily known by its inflorescence and ray-flowers from all states of racemosus.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA Rocky, dry places and roadsides, throughout the colony, common; γ. in Namaqualand, Drege! Wyley! (Herb. Th., D., Hk., Sd.)
