Cymbonotus
''Cymbonotus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae from southern Australia. Three species are recognised. The type species is '' C. lawsonianus'' of eastern Australia, commonly known as bear's ears. Molecular studies of African genera and ''C. lawsonianus'' showed the genus to be very closely related to the genera '' Arctotis'' and ''Haplocarpha ''Haplocarpha'' (onefruit) is a genus of Africa Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases.

Cymbonotus Lawsonianus
''Cymbonotus lawsonianus'', commonly known as bears ear, is a species of small shrub in the family Asteraceae from southeastern Australia. It has been described as ''Arctotis lawsoniana''. It is one of three species in the small genus '' Cymbonotus''. It was named in honour of the explorer William Lawson. ''Cymbonotus lawsonianus'' is a herbaceous annual which may reach 30 cm (12 in) high, its leaves arranged in a rosette pattern on the ground. The leaves themselves are ovate, lanceolate or elliptic, and measure anywhere from 2 to 25 cm (0.8–10 in) long, 2–9 cm (0.8-3.6 in) wide, with margins entire or toothed. The yellow flowers occur from autumn to spring (March to October), and are pollinated by insects. They are followed by small black seeds in early spring (September and October). It is found from Toowoomba and the Darling Downs in south-eastern Queensland southwards throughout New South Wales, and into northern Victoria, southeastern ...

Cymbonotus Preissianus
''Cymbonotus preissianus'', commonly known as Austral bears ear, is an Australian species of small shrub in the family Asteraceae. A perennial herbaceous plant without stems, to 30 cm in diameter. Yellow flowers form from August to March. The habitat is woodland and sclerophyll forest, usually associated with disturbed areas, leaf litter and drainage lines. The type specimen was collected by Ludwig Preiss and the plant was described in 1845 by the German botanist Joachim Steetz Joachim Steetz (12 November 1804 – 24 March 1862) was a German botanist. His herbarium, comprising more than 5000 specimens from over 160 collectors and 30 countries was purchased in 1863 by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Muelle ....

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Asteraceae
The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in the year 1740. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of extant species in each family is unknown. Most species of Asteraceae are annual, biennial, or perennial herbaceous plants, but there are also shrubs, vines, and trees. The family has a widespread distribution, from subpolar to tropical regions in a wide variety of habitats. Most occur in hot desert and cold or hot semi-desert climates, and they are found on every continent but Antarctica. The primary common characteristic is the existence of sometimes hundreds of tiny individual florets which are held together by protective involucres in flower heads, or more t ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Arctotis
''Arctotis'' is a genus of annual and perennial plants in the family Asteraceae. ''Arctotis'' is native to dry stony slopes in southern Africa. Some of the plants are alternatively placed in the genus ''Venidium''. The common name is "African daisy", or "Gousblom" in Afrikaans. These plants have daisy-like composite flowers which tend to close in the late afternoon or in dull weather, but numerous cultivars have been developed for garden use which stay open for longer, and are available in a wide range of colours. Tender perennials are often grown in temperate regions as half-hardy annuals. The garden hybrid ''A.'' × ''hybrida'' hort. 'Flame' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established annual award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is based on assessment of the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. History The Award of Garden Merit .... Vigorous ' ...
