Bellidinae

Swan River daisy Brachycome iberidifolia, from here.

Belongs within: Astereae.

The Bellidinae includes the garden daisy Bellis perennis and its close relatives. Members of the Bellidinae are distinguished from other Astereae by having the pappus absent or much shorter than the achene (Black & Robertson 1965). The include the primarily Australasian genus Brachycome, members of which have predominately white ray-florets, a pappus of short scales if present, and oblong phyllaries. Members of the genus Lagenophora, found in southern Asia, Australasia and South America, similarly have white to purple ray-florets but lack a pappus and possess narrow-linear phyllaries; they also bear achenes with a short, more or less viscid beak (Allan 1961).
