Raoulia hookeri, also called scabweed and mat daisy, is a species of mat-forming plant.[1][2]
Raoulia hookeri is a mat-forming small perennial with tiny yellow flowers, and silver leaves. The flowers form in summer, and result in a daisy-like seed head.[2]
Distribution and habitat
Raoulia hookeri grows on both the North Island and the South Island of New Zealand. It can be found in montane to subalpine areas, particularly places of open ground such as grasslands and herbfields.[2]
