Australian Albany daisy

Actinodium is a genus of only two species both occurring naturally only in south Western Australia. Both species have similar flowers which are superficially similar to daisies. However, the genus is not a daisy and it is a member of the myrtle family.

A small shrub to about 0.5 m with small leaves about 5 mm long. The flower heads occur mainly in spring and are about 40 mm diameter. The heads consist of clusters of small, pink, fertile flowers in the centre surrounded by white, strap-like and sterile flowers around the circumference.
