'''''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 [[Actinotus helianthi|Sydney Flannel Flower]], a common site in [[Sydney]] bushland in the spring. The generic name, meaning "furnished with rays" is derived from the [[Ancient Greek|Greek]] stem ''aktin-''/ακτιν- "ray" or "sunbeam".<ref> {{cite book|author=Liddell & Scott|year=1980|title=Greek-English Lexicon, Abridged Edition |publisher=Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK|isbn=0-19-910207-4}}</ref><ref name = "Blombery65">{{cite journal | author = Blombery, Alec | year = 1965 | title = The genus ''Actinotus'' | journal = Australian Plants | volume = 3 | issue = 22 | pages = 63–65 | publisher = [[ASGAP]] | id=ISSN 0005-0008}}</ref> Most species are endemic to Australia with one from [[New Zealand]].
