Inflorescences form a circle or a plume of multi-flowered marigolds, the buds are straight, ovoid before flowering. The flowers are isomerically 6–7 numerous, have a fleshy, green calyx, the petals are star-shaped after the flower, lanceolate, very bright, yellow-white, the stamens are in 2 complete circles, the gynoecium forms free carpels. Life Form: Ch, Su, Flowering in: Mar-Jul, Vern:————, Phytochoria: MED, The native range of this species is Medit. Notes: Wild in Libya.
