Description
The daisy-like flowers illustrated open during the day from early winter to spring. Like many members of the genus the flower illustrated is borne singly and has Chrome-yellow petals which are 3.5 cm (1.4 in) in diameter. The clump of tri-angled leaves that makes up the plant has little or no stem. When fully grown they are over 5 cm (2.0 in) tall and about 17 cm (6.7 in) in diameter. During the summer the plant dries so much that it can be mistaken for dead.
