A genus of small Australian plants in the daisy family known for their compact growth and delicate flowers.
From Greek brachys (short) + kome (hair), named for the plant's short bristle-like structures on the seed heads.
The genus Brachycome includes 'Swan River Daisy,' which gardeners love because it stays small and blooms heavily—its name literally means 'short-haired' because of its delicate seed bristles, perfect example of how scientific names describe what scientists actually notice.
