[3] It is native to south Texas, Mexico, Belize, Venezuela, and the Caribbean. It has also been introduced east of Texas, Argentina, Hawaii, India, Java, Australia, and Taiwan. [1] It is one of only three species in the genus Calyptocarpus. [1]
The opposite leaves are typically 1–3 cm (0.39–1.18 in) long and triangular to lanceolate in shape. [4] [5] It bears heads of yellow flowers, with around 10–20 disc florets and 3–8 ray florets, the laminae of the latter around 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. It flowers year round. [4] It is a weedy species, found in lawns and along other disturbed areas such as roadsides and paths. [4]
