Actinotus is a genus of flowering plants of the Mackinlayaceae family, with about 18 species. It is native to Australasia. Its best known member is the Sydney Flannel Flower, a common site in Sydney bushland in the spring. The generic name, meaning "furnished with rays" is derived from the Greek stem aktin-/ακτιν- "ray" or "sunbeam".[1][2]

Most species are endemic to Australia with one from New Zealand. Other notable species are A. schwarzii from the Macdonnell Ranges in Central Australia, which closely resembles A. helianthi in appearance, and the rare pink flowering A. forsythii from the Blue Mountains.[2]
