Ixeris repens is
a perennial herb that grows in sandy soil on seashores. It
propagates by extending rhizomes long underground. The leaves are
thick and have long petioles; even if covered with sand, they can
rise by themselves. The blades are 3-5cm long and wide, palmately
cleft or dissected—variable. The axils give birth to peduncles,
which set yellow flower heads on tips. The involucres are about 1cm
long and cylindrical. Bloom time: April-October. |
