Angianthus preissianus, the common cup-flower or salt cup-flower, is a small annual daisy from southern Australia that forms low mats of yellow flower heads. It thrives in saline flats, claypans and winter-wet ground, so it suits sunny, open, free-draining or seasonally wet sites.
Angianthus preissianus, commonly known as common cup-flower, salt angianthus or salt cup-flower, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, and is endemic to southern Australia. It is a prostrate to erect annual herb with narrowly elliptic leaves, compound heads of 5 to 100 yellow flowers, and egg-shaped achenes without a pappus.
Angianthus preissianus is common in saline habitats, winter-wet flats, claypans and granite outcrops in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-west of Western Australia, the southern lofty, southern-eastern, Eyre peninsula, Murray, Yorke Peninsula and Kangaroo Island bioregions of South Australia, the south of Victoria and Tasmania.
