Streptoglossa adscendens, commonly known as desert daisy,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and grows in all mainland states of Australia with the exception of Victoria.

Streptoglossa adscendens is a short-lived, leafy, many branched perennial or prostrate herb to 40 cm (16 in) high with faintly aromatic, glandular leaves and upright stems covered in soft, thin hairs.

Flowering occurs from March to October and the fruit is dry, one-seeded, ribbed, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long and densely covered with silky, flattened hairs.

In 1981 Clyde Robert Dunlop changed the name to Streptoglossa adscendens and the description was published in Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

[7] Desert daisy grows in a variety of habitats including granite hills and the edges of salt lakes in rocky, clay soils in all Australian mainland states other than Victoria.
