| History | The daisy flowers of this popular plant points to its inclusion into the Compositae, and it is further classified into the Senecio Tribe within that family. This genus was classified by a little known French aristocratic botanist, Comte de Alesandre Cassini, 1781-1832. The genus consists of about 50 species of evergreens mostly native to the mild climate of South Africa. This species could have been among those early descriptions of Carl Thunberg, a physician and botanist who spent three years in that region and was considered the father of South African botany.His work, when studied later in Europe revealed many plants classified by the noted leaders in the new system of binomial nomenclature instituted by Carolus Linnaeus of Sweden. This is a newer dwarf form is a garden variety. |
