Euryops glutinosus B.Nord.

A suberect or ascending little-branched vigorous shrub, 0.2-1(sometimes up to 1.5) m high. Branches closely leafy, laxly and shortly lanate towards the ends, lower down glabrate, nude and marked with leaf-scars. Leaves erecto-patent-spreading, linear, 1.5-5 cm long, 1.5-2.5 mm wide, completely entire, rigid, flat but more or less keeled with a prominent midrib on the abaxial side, glabrous, glutinous with rich surface deposit of resin, green or sometimes somewhat glaucous, obtuse-subacute; leaf-tips mucronate or apiculate with a firm point (bristle-pointed when young); leaf-margins somewhat thickened with a resiniferous vein. Peduncles lateral in the upper leaf-axils, erect or suberect, few-several (up to 15) on each flowering branch, 2-7 cm long, 0.5-1 mm thick, glabrous, faintly striate, with 2 subulate lateral minute leaves in the axil. Involucre hemispherical-widely campanulate, 1-1.7 cm wide, 5-8 mm high, glabrous. Involucral bracts 9-14, subuniseriate and partly overlapping, becoming more uniseriate with age, connate to 1/3-1/2, distinctly 3-5-nerved, coriaceous; the free lobes ovate-lanceolate, 2-5 mm long, 1.5-3 mm wide, subacute-short-acuminate, puberulous-tipped. Receptacle somewhat convex, alveolate. Ray-florets 8-13, yellow. Tube 1-1.5 mm long, cylindrical, becoming somewhat inflated basally. Lamina (narrowly) obovate-narrowly elliptic-oblong, 7-12 mm long, 2.5-4 mm wide, 4(-7)-nerved. Style terete with swollen base; style branches 0.6-1 mm long, truncate. Disc-florets c. 30-80. Corolla 3-4 mm long. Tube 1-1.5 mm long, cylindrical. Limb narrowly campanulate, 2-2.5 mm long; lobes narrowly ovate, c. 1 mm long, with subcucullate tips. Anthers 1.4-1.8 mm long incl. the ovate-narrowly ovate, obtuse appendage. Style terete with swollen base; style branches 0.6-1 mm long, with truncate or somewhat convex tips. Pappus bristles copious, 1-1.5 mm long, white, erect, some often reflexed. Achenes narrowly obovate, 3.5-4 mm long, 1.5-2 mm wide, honey-coloured-light or reddish brown, with 5(-6) distinct longitudinal ribs, densely white-papillate, mucilaginous when soaked.
