#3187 - Brachyscome ciliaris - Variable Daisy
First collected by Jacques Labillardière and published in his 1806 Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen as Bellis ciliaris. In 1832 Christian Friedrich Lessing transferred it into Brachyscome, but because it's a rather variable species synonyms include Brachyscome drummondii, Brachyscome dimorphocarpa, and Brachyscome billardierei.
Widely distributed in the lower two thirds of Australia, occurring in every Australian state, favouring red earths and grey sands over limestone or clay, in disturbed areas and on the margins of salt pans.
