Osteospermum calendulaceum is a plant in the family Asteraceae.[1] It was first described in 1782 by Carl Linnaeus the Younger.[1][4] In 1832, Christian Friedrich Lessing assigned it to the genus Oligocarpus in his Synopsis Generum Compositarum.[1][2]
In South Africa, it is native to the Cape Provinces, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Lesotho, Northern Provinces and Eswatini. It has been introduced into Hawaii, South Australia and Western Australia.[3][5] In Australia, it is an agricultural weed found mainly on arid lagoon shores and plains.[5]
