Crocidium multicaule is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name spring gold. [1] [2]
Crocidium multicaule is a small annual, typically not exceeding 30 centimetres (12 in) in height when in flower. It grows from a low small patch of somewhat fleshy leaves at the ground and erects several tall thin stems, usually with reduced leaves on the lower part of the stem, and topped by a single flower head. The flower head is made up of five to 13 (usually 8) lemon yellow ray florets, each up to a centimeter long. The center of the head is filled with tiny disc florets, in a similar shade of bright yellow. The fruits are fuzzy brown achenes only one or two millimeters long which turn gluey when wet. [3]
