Helichrysum pumilio (O.Hoffm.) Hilliard & B.L.Burtt subsp. fleckii (S.Moore) Hilliard
Indigenous

Morphological description

Differs from the typical plant principally by its white and rose, crimson or almost scarlet involucral bracts, the rosy tinge sometimes rather pale. In the southernmost part of the range, some specimens are not or scarcely to be distinguished from typical H. pumilio. Heads range from ±5-7 mm long; leaves are generally thinly grey-woolly, but there appear to be either local races or sporadic occurrences of plants distinguished by absence of wool (H. viscidissimum) or by the possession of very densely woolly leaves (H. dinteri), or older leaves can be green and glandular, young leaves grey-woolly on the same plant; phenomena all paralleled in several other species of Helichrysum.
