Calotis cuneifolia commonly known as purple burr-daisy,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae found in many parts of eastern and central Australia.

Calotis cuneifolia is a small perennial upright or prostrate herb to 25–60 cm (9.8–23.6 in) high and covered with rigid hairs.

The blue, white or purple flower heads 6–20 mm (0.24–0.79 in) in diameter, single or in two or three cymes on slender stems with a yellow disc.

Flowering occurs mostly from September to December and the fruit is a flattened cypsela covered with barbed spines.

[3] Calotis cuneifolia was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and the description was published in The Botanical Register: Consisting of Coloured Figures of Exotic Plants, Cultivated in British Gardens; with their History and Mode of Treatment.
