Botanical characteristics
The genus name refers to two fruit forms: ray and disc florets produce differently shaped achenes. This botanical dimorphism is relevant when comparing the seed-format labels in the catalogue.
Two fruit forms in the seed trade
Mixed (flakes) and Mixed (sticks ) are separately labelled seed references for resellers. Pastel Shades mixed is another named mixture.
