Oligocarpus calendulaceus is a plant in the Asteraceae family.[1] It was first described as Osteospermum calendulaceum in 1782 by Carl Linnaeus the Younger.[1][4] In 1832, Christian Friedrich Lessing assigned it to the genus Oligocarpus in his Synopsis Generum Compositarum.[1][2] (This is the name accepted by the Australian Plant Name Index,[1] but Plants of the World Online accepts Osteospermum calendulaceum.)[5]

In South Africa, it is native to the Cape Provinces, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Lesotho, Northern Provinces, and Swaziland. It has been introduced into Hawaii, and Australia, where it is found in South Australia and Western Australia.[3][6] In Australia, it is an agricultural weed, and found mainly in arid areas on lagoon shores, and on plains.[6]
