Felicia nordenstamii
Also called Limestone Felicia
Felicia nordenstamii is a flowering shrub in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in South Africa where it grows on limestone hills close to the sea on the southern coast. Felicia nordenstamii is a many-branched shrub growing up to 30 cm (1 ft) tall. The lower parts of the stems are covered in grayish brown bark and the upper stem has many crowded, upwardly angled, alternate leaves with long hairs on the lower surfaces. Large flower heads form at the tips of the branches, each about 41⁄2 cm (13⁄4 in) across, with about thirty purplish blue ray florets surrounding many yellow disc florets.
Felicia nordenstamii is only known from limestone ridges just east of Cape Agulhas and near the Potberg.
