Calotis cuneifolia commonly known as purple burr-daisy,[1] is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae found in many parts of eastern and central Australia.
Calotis cuneifolia is a small perennial upright or prostrate herb to high and covered with rigid hairs. The basal leaves more or less woody, soon withering, upper leaves wedge to spoon-shaped, lobed near the apex, long, wide, simple, sessile and arranged alternately.[2] Blue or purple flowers form at any time of year, but mostly seen in spring. The type specimen was collected by Allan Cunningham on the banks of the Lachlan River in 1817. The specific epithet "cuneifolia" refers to the wedged shape leaves.[3] [4]
