Myriocephalus (Greek, ten-thousand-headed). Compositae. Annual or perennial herbs, all Australian, often hoary, especially when young. Leaves alternate, entire: clusters or compound heads terminal, usually globose or hemispherical; heads exceedingly numerous and sessile on a broad, very flat receptacle, surrounded by a general involucre of numerous narrow bracts in many rows, each usually with a scarious tip or radiating appendage. In M. Stuartii these appendages are 1-2 lines long, broad, white and very conspicuous.—About 8 species.
