If you can get a photo, using a macro app on your phone/tablet, of a seed, that would really clinch it.

Thanks Betty

I meant a mature seed. Try to tease it out from a dry burr without getting pricked too much.

Hi Betty hopefully you have what is needed now. The seed heads are not a burr like yellow burr daisy they are quite soft.

Good job I asked you. A good photo of the seeds which are definitely Brachyscome. I will try to key it out. Could you get a higher magnification with your macro? I want to have a look at the chaff, which might be a second type of seed.

The two more likely species of Brachyscome with winged seeds and similar looking leaves are ciliaris, which has ‘petals’ 2-9 mm long and winged and unwinged seeds, the winged seeds with broad flat wings at maturity, and dentata, with ‘petals’ 6.4-12 mm long, and seeds with broad dissected wings at maturity.
