Senecio scapiger[2] Brachyscome scapigera commonly known as tufted daisy,[3]is a flowering, perennial herb in the family Asteraceae.

The basal leaves are linear to oblanceolate and up to 20 cm (7.9 in) long and 15 mm (0.59 in) wide, margins entire and the apex pointed.

The flowerheads are borne singly, about 12 mm (0.47 in) in diameter with yellow centres and white or mauve petals, peduncle 8.5–23 cm (3.3–9.1 in) long, often with one or two smaller leaves.

In 1838 Augustin Pyramus de Candolle changed the name to Brachyscome scapigera and the description was published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.

[8] Brachyscome scapigera frequently occurs in swampy areas in forests in Queensland, New South Wales the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
