Actinotus Helianthi Seedhead
''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 personally ...

Actinotus Helianthi
''Actinotus helianthi'', known as the flannel flower, is a common species of flowering plant native to the bushland around Sydney. It was named and first described by the French botanist Jacques Labillardière in his ''Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen'' the first general flora of Australia. According to historian Edward Duyker Labillardière could not have collected the type specimen personally and might have received it from Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour botanist on the expedition of Nicolas Baudin or another early French visitor to New South Wales.Duyker (2003) p. 232. Despite its appearance, it is not a member of the daisy family but rather a species of the Apiaceae (formerly Mackinlayaceae) family, the same family as the carrot. Its generic name, meaning "furnished with rays", is derived from the Greek stem ''aktin-''/ακτιν- "ray" or "spoke of a wheel" or "sunbeam", while its specific epithet is derived from its resemblance to the genus ''Helianthus''.
