Actinotus helianthi

Actinotus helianthi, known as the flannel flower, is a common species of flowering plant native to the bushland around Sydney, Australia. Despite its appearance, it is not a member of the daisy family but rather a species of the Apiaceae family, the same family as the carrot. Its generic name, meaning "furnished with rays", is derived from the Greek stem aktin-/ακτιν- "ray" or "spoke of a wheel" or "sunbeam", while its specific epithet is derived from its resemblance to the genus Helianthus. An iconic Sydney plant, its floral display has horticultural appeal which has seen limited use in the home garden and cut flower industry. It grows alongside the related lesser flannel flower.
