Gazaniopsis
(from Gazania, and opsis, like; in allusion to the resemblance to Gazania). ORD. Compositae. A monotypic genus, nearly allied to Gazania and Gorteria. It thrives in any well-drained garden soil, and may be increased by seeds, or by cuttings, inserted under a bell glass, in a cold frame.
G. stenophylla (slender-leaved). fl.-heads 3in. across, on long, leafless stalks; ray florets bronzy-green in the centre externally, of the richest golden-yellow internally; disk florets of the same colour; involucral bracts numerous, running together at the base into a cup, the free ends leafy, about 1in. long, linear, ciliate at the edges. l. deep green above, long, linear, grassy, snowy-white beneath. South Africa. The flowers have the same habit of closing in the after part of the day as those of Gazania.
