Polycalymma stuartii, the poached egg daisy, is an Australian daisy found abundantly on sand plains and dunefields. Its common name is derived from the poached egg-like appearance of its white flower and yellow centre. It is the only known species of the genus Polycalymma; a member of the tribe Gnaphalieae within the family Asteraceae.
The poached egg daisy is found abundantly during good seasons in open communities on sand plans and dune fields in Western Australia, Northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. This annual daisy thrives in light to medium soil, open sunny communities and is resistant to drought and frost.
