Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Waitzia (F. A. C. Waitz, born 1768, at Schaumburg, Germany, state physician to the Dutch at Samarang, Java; wrote on Javanese plants). Compositae. Includes one of the rarer "everlasting flowers," a half-hardy annual which bears flat-topped clusters of yellow flower-heads, with a golden disk.

Mostly annuals: lvs. alternate, linear or nearly so: fl.-heads in terminal corymbs or rarely in oblong leafy racemes: involucre various in outline, the bracts overlapping in many rows, all colored and petal-like: receptacle flat, without scales: anthers provided with tails of very small size: achenes somewhat compressed, glabrous or papillose, terminating in a slender beak; pappus of capillary bristles usually cohering at the base, simple, barbellate or plumose.—Seven species from Austral. The genus is distinguished from Helipterum and Helichrysum by the beaked achenes.
