Dimorphotheca (Greek, two-formed achenes). Composite. Cape Marigold. Annual and perennial herbs or sub-shrubs, some of which are excellent flower- garden plants.<br />
<br />
Leaves alternate or radical, entire, toothed, or incised, often narrow: heads solitary, long-peduncled; disk-fls. yellow or brown or purple, the rays yellow, purple, or white with purple beneath. The genus is closely allied to Calendula but has straight instead of incurved frs. The fls. usually close up, like those of Gazania, unless they have sunlight; their backs have as great a variety of coloring as their faces.—About 20 species in S. Afr.<br />
<br />
The flowers are often 3 inches across, and their long, slender rays (20 or more) give a distinct and charming effect. A dozen kinds are grown abroad, representing a wide range of colors and foliage. They are wintered in coolhouses and flowered in spring or else transplanted to the open, where they flower freely during summer. The shrubby kind, D. Ecklonis, has been grown as a summer beading plant, flowering from July to frost, and as a coolhouse plant, making a much-branched subject 3 feet high, and flowering freely all spring.<br />
<br />
D. Barberiae, Haw. Perennial: fls. purple above, paler beneath; disk all purple, with corollas of 2 forms. B.M. 5337. H.F. II. 5:78. Var. rosea, Hort., has rose-colored fls.—D. chrysanthemifolia, DC. Lvs. cut like a chrysanthemum: fls. yellow, reverse reddish. B.M. 2218.—D. cuneata, DC. Lvs. strongly cut: fls. scarlet- orange. B.M. 1343.—D. nudicaulis var. grammifolia, Harv. &. Sond. Fls. white, with a purple ring at the base, and orange- brown on the back, the disk purple. B.M. 5252.—D. Tragua. DC. Perennial: lvs. narrower than in D. Ecklonis, linear: fls. white, veined purple, the rays narrower at the base, reverse orange purplish, the disk purplish. B.M. 1981 (as Calendula). L. H. B.<br />
