Field notes

Arctotheca prostrata (commonly known as Capeweed, South African Capeweed, Cape Dandelion, and Cape Gold) is a rosette-forming plant in the family Asteraceae native to Namibia and the Cape Provinces of South Africa. The infertile form is often cultivated as a ground cover, while the fertile form spreads rapidly in disturbed areas like beside roads and trails, threatening native ecosystems. It is listed as an invasive weed in California and Australia.
