Latin Name:  Boopsis australis
Family:  Calyceraceae
Author:  Decne.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:     Mature Width:

Habitat:  Open sands and gravels by the coast and estuaries, to elevations of 60 metres, from Tierra del Fuego and north to latitude 39°s in Argentina[69].

Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range some provenances at least should succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. Plants are likely to be resistant to maritime winds. They probably require a light very well drained soil in a sunny position and will be more likely to be killed by winter wet than by cold.
