Eriocephalus
''Eriocephalus'' is a genus of African flowering plants in the daisy family.〔(Linnaeus, Carl von. 1753. Species Plantarum 2: 926-927 ) in Latin〕〔(Tropicos, ''Eriocephalus'' L. )〕
==General description==
The genus ''Eriocephalus'' appears in the ''Species Plantarum'' of Carl Linnaeus, item 926 (1753), and was dealt with by William Henry Harvey in Flora Capensis 3: 200 (1865)
The plants are more or less sclerophyllous bushes or shrublets, some species tending to be thorny, leaves silky-greyish, most species are finely villous, but some are glabrous. They have a characteristic, rather spicy aroma, especially when bruised. This has been compared to the aroma of rosemary, though it is not convincingly so. However, the plants have been used similarly in cooking. The leaves are generally ericoid, alternate or subopposite, often fascicled.
The flowering heads are small, with short, racemose or subumbellate peduncles. In a few species the flowers are solitary. The flowers are heterogamous, a few female florets in each head occurring together with several bisexual, sterile disk-florets. The head becomes very woolly after flowering, surrounded by involucral bracts. The receptacle is paleate and woolly.〔Dyer, R. Allen, The Genera of Southern African Flowering Plants”.
