About Vittadinia gracilis (Hook.fil.) N.T.Burb.

Vittadinia gracilis, commonly called woolly New Holland daisy, is a perennial shrub in the family Asteraceae. It occurs mostly in southern regions of Australia. This small plant grows 10 to 40 cm tall with erect stems. Its leaves are either flat or folded along the midrib, and shaped from linear to narrow lanceolate or spathulate, measuring 10 to 40 mm long and 2 to 7 mm wide. New stems grow each year from a woody base, and are covered in a coat of dense, fine white hairs; this hair coating is less common on the leaves. The specific epithet gracilis comes from the Latin adjective gracilis, which means slender, thin, or graceful.
