Characteristicsedit
The southern daisy's creeping roots are rhizomes. what we usually call flower is an inflorescence composed of tens or hundreds of minuscule flowers. Those on the outside are white with a ligule. Those on the inside are yellow tube-shaped. The plant bears fruits called achenes.[2]
B. sylvestris is morphologically similar to Bellis pappulosa but has no scales on the pappus of the seeds, unlike B. pappulosa.[3] Moreover, B. pappulosa is diploid while B. sylvestris is polyploid.[4]
