Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula), also known as plain treasureflower, cape dandelion, cape marigold is a plant in the sunflower family. It is given this name as it originates from the Western Cape Province in South Africa. It is a squat perennial or annual which grows in rosettes and sends out stolons and can spread across the ground quickly. The leaves are covered with white woolly hairs, especially on their undersides. The leaves are lobed or deeply toothed. Hairy stems bear daisy-like flowers with small yellow petals that sometimes have a green or purple tint surrounded by white or yellow ray petals extending further out from the flower centers.
