Description en: Genus of over 40 species of erect, drought-tolerant annuals, perennials, and subshrubs, frequently included in the genera Acroclinium and Helipterum, occurring in arid areas of Australia.

The alternate leaves are entire, linear to oblong or obovate, and mid- to grey-green. Grow in an annual or mixed border; the perennials and subshrubs are usually grown as annuals, even in frost-free areas. The flowerheads are excellent for dried flower arrangements.
