  1. Craspedia

    Craspedia is a genus of daisies commonly known as billy buttons or woollyheads. They are native to Australia and New Zealand where they grow in a variety of habitats from sea level to the alps. The genus is found in every state of Australia except the Northern Territory. In New Zealand, Craspedia is found south from about East Cape in the North Island to Stewart Island. It also occurs on Campbell Island 660 km S of Stewart Island, and the Chatham Islands, 800 km E of East Cape. Craspedia are rosette-forming herbs with secondarily compound capitula that are borne on erect, unbranched scapes. The glomerules or flower-heads are hemispherical to spherical and are formed of a massive aggregation of tiny flowers. Most species are perennial with one species recorded as annual. Twenty three-species are currently accepted, six from New Zealand and 17 from Australia. Leaves have considerable variation in form, they range in colour from white through to grass green, and are often covered in fine hairs. Species of Craspedia are found in a wide range of habitats from coastal to alpine and are generally plants of open areas, sometimes ruderal. Observations of some Australian species suggest they re-establish well after fire. In Australia Craspedia are commonly found growing in association with forest habitats, whereas in New Zealand they are generally excluded from closed Nothofagus forests. Craspedia is never seen in New Zealand or Tasmania in the large, widespread and dense populations that are characteristic of mainland Australia, both in forest and on alpine slopes.
