Description

It grows as an erect annual herb, from 2 to 60 centimetres in height, but rarely over 20 centimetres. Flowers occur in a range of colours.[1]

Taxonomy

This species was first published by Jacques Labillardière in 1805, under the name Scandex glochidiata. It was transferred into Caucalia in 1809, then Daucus in 1844.[2]

Distribution

It occurs throughout Australasia. It is found in every Australian state, and both the North Island and South Island of New Zealand. It also occurs in the Chatham Islands.[3]

It is common in both temperate and arid areas of Australia, but not in tropical areas. It is often found in association with limestone, though it tolerates a variety of soils.[1][4]
