Othonna auriculifolia

Plant with aster like flowers and underground tuber. Found in middle and western section of the reserve. The flowers appear in winter. The ray florets (which look like outer petals) can be white or yellow. The disc florets (middle section) reddish with yellow.

At Zeekoegat the ray florets are white. I have not seen the flowers at the fountain yet. Could be white or yellow.
