Upright rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves, tightly in silvery hair are produced along short rhizomes. These grow to approximately 20cm high. Upright leafless stems, also covered in silvery hair are produced in spring, each topped with a head of flowers approximately 3cm across. These heads are subtended (grow immediately below)a ring of tiny 'floral' leaves. The flowers produced in these heads have four petals in various blue shades, often a brilliant electric blue.

A low, rhizomatous groundcover with finely divided leaves to approximately 2 cm long. It grows to about 15 cm in height. Pale lilac daisy flowers are produced above the foliage on fine stems. A single plant in open ground may spread approximately 50cm in diameter.

A small lily with a tuft of soft, greyish leaves in winter. These often wither while the tougher, longer, flowering stems emerge. These stems are dark green and give the flowering plant a rush-like appearance. Clusters of purplish buds are produced at nodes. These open a few at a time. The flower has six golden petal-like segments and tufted golden stamens. The pods mature while green, containing fully developed black seeds.

A prickly groundcover. The stiff pointed leaves are a bright, shiny green when fresh. Dead material is a pale straw colour and often present amongst the fresh foliage. Pretty white flowers emerge in spring.

Slender upright annual or short-lived perennial with jagged, rough leaves. In the grassland near Melbourne it might be mistaken for the similar jagged-leaved Senecio glomeratus but the distinctive rough surface is a reliable identification feature. Flowerheads (gathered in composite capitula) arranged in a corymb. Individual capitula lack the showy bracts of a typical 'daisy' flower. Fruit have fluffy hairs 'pappus' which allow them to drift on the wind.
