Calotis cymbacantha, the showy burr daisy, is a species of Calotis native to the arid areas of Australia. It is a perennial herb that grows between 10 and 40 cm tall. It has hairy erect stems which are woody at the base and produces yellow flowers (Seeds of South Australia, 2018) (Victoria Flora, 2018).
Found in areas of sandy plains and arid areas (Cunningham et al., 1992)(Seeds of Australia, 2018). It is found mostly within the west of New South Wales, although it is distributed also to the south of Victoria and South Australia (Cunningham et al. 1992).
