Unknown Native ?Asteraceae?

Post by MattA »

I recently recieved this little collected native to use as an accent plant, it was repotted into this sweet 5cm sq chinese pot last weekend, with postive signs of accepting the move, today I did a little work to feed the aerial roots back into the main 'trunk'.

I look forward to flowering & hopefully a positive ID.

Thanks Woody,
I have seen it before while bushwalking but never had the opportunity to grow one thus never bothered with id. I had to go & measure, glad I did, the pot is 75mm not 50 wide, the plant stands 120mm tall without the dried flower stalks.
