Leptorhynchos baileyi
Woolly buttons is a small annual daisy-family herb from inland eastern and southern Australia, with linear leaves and yellow flowers. It is a wildflower of dry, open country rather than a common garden plant, so growing it means sowing seed in a sunny, well-drained spot.
Leptorhynchos baileyi, commonly known as woolly buttons, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is an erect to ascending annual herb with linear leaves and yellow flowers.
The species was first described in 1877 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by Frederick Manson Bailey near Mount Abundance.
