Actinotus
''Actinotus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, subfamily Mackinlayoideae, with about 18 species. It is native to Australasia. Its best known member is the flannel flower, a common sight in Sydney bushland in the spring. The generic name, meaning "furnished with rays" is derived from the Greek stem ''aktin-''/ακτιν- "ray" or "sunbeam". Most species are endemic to Australia with one from New Zealand. Other notable species are '' A. schwarzii'' from the Macdonnell Ranges in Central Australia, which closely resembles ''A. helianthi'' in appearance, and the rare pink-flowering '' A. forsythii'' from the Blue Mountains. The genus was established by the French botanist Jacques Labillardière with his description of ''A. helianthi'' on page 67 of the first volume of his ''Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen''. However the habitat statement is anomalous and according to historian Edward Duyker Labillardière could not have collected the type specimen persona ...
