Gary R. Feulner. 2014. The Flora of Wadi Wurayah National Park Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.
A semi-erect daisy with rubbery, leafless, greyish blue-green stems spreading from a basal rosette of thin, dissected and finely toothed leaves. The baseline survey produced the first record of this plant from the UAE. Single specimens have been found at four widespread and varied sites within WWNP. It has also been recorded subsequently from a rocky ridge on the slopes of Jebel Qitab in Fujairah Emirate, southwest of Fujairah city. The UAE records were identified, from photographs, by Dr. Norbert Kilian of the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, who first distinguished and named the species in 1997.
Rocky mountain slopes.
