Golden Everlasting
Helichrysum ?
Observed along a trail on the Elgeyo Escarpment, Iten, Kenya. January 2012.
This composite shrub was over one meter tall and appears to me most like a relative of yarrow. The flowers heads are small and the disc florets bright, golden yellow.
- Disc Flowers: The disc flowers are golden yellow and have distinct lobes.
- Ray Flowers: No ray flowers.
- Phyllaries:
- Pappus:
- Leaves: The leaves are elyptic and silvery white below.
