Felicia smaragdina is a small, much-branched annual daisy from Namibia with slightly succulent, needle-like leaves and yellow flower heads that turn greenish when dried. It is a dry-climate plant that needs sun and good drainage.
Felicia smaragdina is an annual, bristly and glandular, much branched plant of up to 40 cm (1+1⁄3 ft) high, that has been assigned to the family Asteraceae. It has seated, slightly succulent, line-shaped leaves of up to 3 cm (1+1⁄5 in) long and about 1 mm (0.04 in) wide. Its flower heads sit individually at the tip of the branches, and contain about twenty yellow ray florets of about 8 mm (1⁄3 in) long and 11⁄2 mm (0.06 in) wide, surrounding many yellow disc florets. A unique character is that when dried, the florets become greenish. The species is an endemic species of Namibia.
