Dimorphotheca is a genus of plants in the sunflower family, native to Africa and Australia.[2] is one of eight genera of the Calenduleae, with a centre of diversity in Southern Africa. Some species can hybridize withOsteospermum, and crosses are sold as cultivated ornamentals. The name "Dimorphotheca" comes from the Greek "Dis" "Morphe" and "Theka", meaning "two shaped fruit", referring to the dimorphic cypselae, a trait inherent to members of the Calenduleae.[3] Plants of this genus usually have bisexual flowers.
