#3173 - Waitzia acuminata - Orange Immortelle

Acuminata is latin for 'tapered to a point'

A very common annual paper daisy in the SW corner of Australia, but sparse in the drier parts of other states. It usually grows in open, hot environments with deep sandy red soils or shallow stony soils (sandstone and granite) amongst mallee and mulgoa woodlands. But also in saline depressions, sand, loam, gravel, litter, laterite, sand dunes, plains, and clay soils. Since Wongan has all of those, it's hardly surprising we found the plant growing everywhere.
