Felicia mossamedensis
Yellow felicia is a low, branching, slightly succulent daisy-family plant of up to 30 cm that bears yellow flower heads on long thin stalks. It needs bright sun and well-drained soil, and is best kept on the dry side.
Felicia mossamedensis or yellow felicia is a well-branched, roughly hairy, annual or perennial plant of up to 30 cm (1 ft) high, assigned to the family Asteraceae. It has alternately arranged, seated, flat to slightly succulent, broad-based, entire, blunt tipped leaves. The flower heads sit individually on top of a stalk of up to 8 cm (3 in) long, have an involucre of three whorls of bracts, many yellow ray florets and many yellow disk florets. It can be found in southern Africa, in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Botswana, Eswatini, South Africa and on the coast of Angola.
Felicia mossamedensis occurs in western, central, southern, and eastern Zimbabwe, the Manica e Sofala, Gaza-Imhambane and Maputo provinces of Mozambique, Botswana, Eswatini, and the Limpopo, Gauteng, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa. There is also an isolated population in a narrow strip along the coast of Angola near Moçâmedes. Grau suggested that the species might have lifted a hike on a ship from Mozambique to Angola, both of which being former Portuguese colonies. In Zimbabwe it grows in shrubland, grassland and along roadsides up to an altitude of up to 1,900 m (6,200 ft). In South Africa, it is considered a least concern species.
