Centrolepis strigosa flowerhead1
Native, cool season, annual, small, tufted annual herb 2-11 cm tall. Leaves are linear, innermost ones usually reduced to a short membranous hairless sheath. Stems are erect, unbranched and leafless. Flowerheads are terminal cymose heads enclosed by 2 primary bracts with dilated bases; each bract encloses 1–numerous pseudanthia; pseudanthia each consist of 1–30 ± fused female flowers superimposed in 1 or 2 rows, styles usually fused at base, usually with 1 male flower at base; secondary bracts 2 or 3 per pseudanthium. Flowering is in spring. Grows in heath, scrub, mallee, woodland and sclerophyll forest on sand or infertile soils; mostly east and north of the A.C.T., but this one was in Albury.
