Platycarpha glomerata can be distinguished from other species in the tribe by its pinnatisect, spiny leaves, long corollas and long style branches, and its larger heads with a well-developed involucre. While all of the species of the tribe are prostrate, this one also has a tendency to be forced into a somewhat upright position especially when growing in crowded conditions. The size of the secondary head and leaves varies depending on the age of the plants and the amount of water available. On larger plants the younger leaves, which are just above the others, are smaller than the. older, lower leaves. From: Funk, VA; Koekemoer, M. 2011.
