Arctotis stoechadifolia, the African daisy [2] or white arctotis, [3] is a rare species of South African plants in the family Asteraceae. It is a rare plant found only in sand dunes along the West coast of Cape Province. [4]

The species is sometimes regarded as the same species as the much more common and widely cultivated A. venusta , but authors separate the two as distinct species. [5] [6]
