Brachyscome iberidifolia

Brachyscome iberidifolia, commonly known as the Swan River daisy,[1] is an annual herb native to Western Australia.

The Bellis daisy form and colours were familiar to Europeans when discovered, and they have since become a popular garden plant, as the species is hardy and adaptable, and poor or sandy soils do not prevent a showy display.

The annual species is erect, many branched, forming fields of plants up to 400 mm (15 or 16 inches) in height.

The leaves of Brachyscome iberidifolia are fully divided, each having long and narrow segments from the midrib.

It is often found amongst the mosaic of wildflowers which appear in the heaths, woodlands, and plains of Western Australia.
