Dimorphotheca

Advice from @jackiemiles: According to iNaturalist South Africa, even in its area of origin, Dimorphotheca plants are often hybrids. And unlike Gazania, where the hybrids have been given a name (Gazania x splendens) there is no accepted name for Dimorphotheca hybrids, so best just left at genus, and not Dimorphotheca ecklonis or D.fruiticosa.
