Woolly-heads (Myriocephalus rhizocephalus) and Small Wrinklewort (Siloxerus multiflorus) have both recently been found for the first time in the ACT (Mulligans Flat and Goorooyaroo). They are tiny daisies with cauliflower shaped flower heads surrounded by threadlike leaves, stems and bracts. They like moist, but well drained and open areas and shrivel up when it becomes dry. The northern grassland and woodland reserves are possible habitat so keep your eyes out for these locally rare plants making the most of a good Spring,
