Summary

Description Introduced, cool-season, annual or biennial, erect herb to 40 cm tall. Leaves form a basal rosette and are spoon-shaped (up to 7 cm long); the upper surface is green, hairless, with a furrowed whitish midrib and the lower surface is covered in dense, matted, white hairs. Flowerheads are dense spike-like panicles of heads (2-3 mm wide) at the stem tips. Flowering is mostly from October to January. A native of the Americas, it is found in many habitats, especially disturbed areas. One of the most common cudweed species in pastures. Its abundance in pastures is a sign of poor ground cover and/or overgrazing. As most leaves grow in a basal rosette that is pressed to the ground, plants are likely to be of little importance for grazing animals. Its abundance can be reduced by resting and fertilising pastures to increase ground cover and pasture mass.
