Ox-Eye Daisy ‒ Inflorescence

by STEAM3D

Description

The ox-eye daisy is a herbaceous plant found in meadows and grasslands, with a typical lifespan of 2–4 years. It has a long rhizome beneath the soil. The lower and upper leaves have distinct shapes, adapting to their positions on the plant. The flower heads grow singly at the top of each stem, measuring 3–7 cm (1–3 inches) in diameter. The outer ray flowers are white, with each ligule formed from three fused petals, and the central disk flowers are yellow. Beneath the flower head are several bracts with dark brown margins. The plant's fruit is an achene. ## Keywords plantae angiosperms eudicots asterids asterales asteraceae asteroideae anthemideae leucanthemum
