Hyalosperma cotula is a plant in the Asteraceae family, native to Western Australia, South Australia, and Victoria. [1] It was first described in 1837 by George Bentham as Helichrysum cotula, [2] but was transferred to the genus, Hyalosperma , in 1989 by Paul Wilson. [3]

It is a slender, erect, annual herb, growing from 0.05 to 0.25 m high, in damp places. [4] The white /yellow flowers may be seen from July to December. [4]
