Vernacular names

Oedera is a genus of African flowering plants in the pussy's-toes tribe within the sunflower family. The genus is named in honor of the Danish botanist Georg Christian Oeder.

The species have yellow central and ray florets in their flower-heads. Their seeds all have a little crown of scales, and the leaves are often fragrant and unpalatable for stock grazing.[2]
