Nablonium calyceroides

[mark smyth]

From the same nursery that I bought the Ranunculus I also got Nablonium caylcoroides calyceroides. It's another invader. I repotted it last night from peat to nice gritty soil. I cant find it listed on the internet. It's a fleshy Asteraceae from South America

Does anyone know it?

That would appear to be Nablonium calyceroides, not that that helps very much google-wise ...

You mean Ammobium calyceroides, which comes from Tasmania??
Invasive plant.

Ammobium (includes Nablonium; Asteraceae)   
Tasmania has two species of Ammobium. A. calyceroides (=Nablonium calyceroides) is a native rosette species with spiny inflorescences. It is common along the west coast. The other species (A. alatum) is a largish, erect introduced perennial herb.   

I hope I was allowed to copy a picture?

yes that is the plant.

Yet again amazed by the knowledge of members.

Anyone want it for a pot? I took divisions yesterday

Seems to me this nursery needs to come with a health warning
