Felicia erigeroides |
Felicia erigeroides, commonly known as wild Michaelmas daisy, isithelelo or ixhaphozi, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to South Africa, where it is found from Humansdorp to KwaZulu-Natal.[1]
Felicia erigeroides was first described in 1836 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle.[2] Harvey reclassified it as Aster erigoides,[3] but this was an illegitimate name.[4]
