Cnicothamnus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.[2][3][4] Its species are small trees which can reach 5m in height, bearing alternate ovate and dentate leaves with a whitish pubescence. The inflorescences, borne at branch tips, are bell-shaped capitula of a bright orange colour, and usually appear during local winter. Their fruit (which can be described as a cypsela) bears a rough plume.[5]
