Some Brachyscome species, notably Brachyscome iberidifolia (Swan river daisy), are popular as easily cultivated ornamental plants for flower gardens, and many cultivars are bred for their form, foliage, and flowers.

[ 3 ] Hybrids derived from this species ( garden marguerites ) are widely cultivated as ornamental plants in private gardens and public parks in many countries, and ...
The flowers are perfect (bisexual), containing 75–100 stamens and many individual pistils with superior ovaries. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] While fruit production is largely dependent on the environment, there is an estimated growth of 30 fruits per 3m^2 (32 ft^2) and 17-65 seeds per fruit. [ 11 ]
In other flowers (e.g., Rosaceae, Myrtaceae), a hypanthium includes the bases of sepals, petals, and the attachment points of the stamens. Mechanical cues may be responsible for sepal growth and there is a strong evidence suggesting that microtubules are present and determine the tensile strength and direction of growth at a molecular level.
The heads or daisy-like "flowers" are arranged singly in leaf axils or on the ends of short side branchlets and are 5–10 mm (0.20–0.39 in) in diameter and more or less sessile, with five or six rows of bracts forming an involucre 3.5–5 mm (0.14–0.20 in) long at the base.
A floral diagram is a graphic representation of the structure of a flower. It shows the number of floral organs, their arrangement and fusion. Different parts of the flower are represented by their respective symbols. Floral diagrams are useful for flower identification or can help in understanding angiosperm evolution.
