Osteospermum calendulaceum is a plant in the Asteraceae family.[1] It was first described in 1782 by Carl Linnaeus the Younger.[1][4] In 1832, Christian Friedrich Lessing assigned it to the genus Oligocarpus in his Synopsis Generum Compositarum.[1][2]
In South Africa , it is native to the Cape Provinces, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Lesotho, Northern Provinces, and Eswatini. It has been introduced into Hawaii, and Australia , where it is found in South Australia and Western Australia.[3][5] In Australia, it is an agricultural weed, and found mainly in arid areas on lagoon shores, and on plains.[5]
