Oligocarpus is a genus of plants in the pot marigold tribe within the sunflower family, native to Southern Africa.[2] The species oligocarpus calendulaceus can also be found in southern Australia. [3]
This genus was separated from Osteospermum in 1999 after a phylogenetic study determined the group was distinct from other Osteospermum species.[4][5]
