'''''Felicia amelloides''''' (blue daisy, blue marguerite) is a herbaceous perennial of family [[Asteraceae]], native to [[South Africa]]. ''F. amelloides'' is synonymous with, and formerly known as, ''F. aethiopica'', ''Aster amelloides'', ''Aster capensis'', and ''Aster coelestis''.
''F. amelloides'' is an evergreen shrublet usually about 0.3–0.6 x 0.5 m, but sometimes up to 1 m tall, with densely branched and frequently dark red stems, and rough, hairy, ovate green leaves. Striking blue and yellow flowers are typical of Asteraceae, about 30 mm in diameter, and borne on naked stalks up to 180 mm long.

Felicia amelloides, Voss, not Schlechter 1898 Blue daisy. Blue marguerite. An old greenhouse plant, 1-2 ft., with roundish ovate opposite lvs. and large, solitary heads of an exquisite sky-blue.

An elegant pot-plant, and useful for bedding in a protected place. Var. monstrosa,Hort. Fls. double the size of the type.
