# Asteridea pulverulenta

Asteridea pulverulenta (common name - common bristle daisy) is a species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, which is endemic to Western Australia, in the south-west. It was first described in 1839 by John Lindley.

## Description

It is an annual herb, growing on sandy soils to heights of from 5 cm to 70 cm. Its white flowers may seen from October to January on coastal dunes and sandplains.

Lindley describes the plant as having a dusty indumentum ("undique pilis mollibus ramentaceis pulverulenta"), and uses the adjective, pulverulenta ("powdered, dusty"), as the epithet to describe this characteristic of the plant.
