About

Helichrysum sessilioides is a forb species from Southern Africa.

Where it grows

This plant is found growing on mountains in Lesotho and South Africa. In Lesotho, it is most common in areas that experience an intermediate level of grazing by livestock - while heavy grazing is bad for survival as it presumably gets eaten too, it seems that this species is more easily outcompeted at low levels of grazing and occurs at lower densities.
