The genus is native to South Africa and is characterized by its small, yellow flowers that bloom in late summer and early autumn. The plants are perennial and grow to a height of about 30-60 cm. They have a basal rosette of leaves and a single stem that produces the flowers. The leaves are linear to lanceolate, with a serrated margin, and are covered in a fine, white pubescence. The flowers are arranged in a dense, flat-topped inflorescence, with each flower having a yellow corolla and a purple anther. The fruit is a small, hairy achene.
