📚 Overview
Description
Seedling
Cotyledons very small, 3-4 x 2-3 mm, oval-rounded, sessile-abundant, glabrous. Primordial leaves opposite, obovate-spatulate, toothed in the upper half with visible veins, glabrous. The hypocotyl axis is very short. Seedling light green.
Adult plant
Bellis annua is an annual with an upright-decumbent habit. Stem simple or branched from the base, not exceeding 15 cm high, pubescent. Leaves alternate, obovate-spatulate, attenuated in petiole, toothed or crenate in the upper half. Capitula solitary, terminal, radiate and ligulate, 0.5-2 cm (0.4-0.5 in.) across. Florets radiate in the centre, yellow, and ligulate around the edge, white above and white to purpurine below. Achenes very small, compressed, with thick margins, without pappus.
