Description
Trachymene ornata is an annual herb growing up to 15 centimetres (6 in) high, which has sparsely hairy stems. The sparsely hairy leaves are deeply three-lobed almost to dissected. The inflorescence is an umbel of 3-6 flowers which are bisexual, white or blue, and observed (in NSW) from July to October. The two-carpelled fruits split into two densely woolly mericarps with white (sometimes purplish) hairs.
