Familiar members of Cichorioideae include lettuce, dandelions, chicory and "Gazania" species. A commonly grown variety is the trailing gazania ("Gazania rigens" var. The flowering plant Gazania, of southern Africa, is named after him. In 1959, Helmut Roessler published what he considered to be a preliminary revision of "Gazania". This list of "Gazania" cultivars includes plant cultivars of the South African genus "Gazania". Gazania thermalis is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. The Gazania Linearis is classified as invasive in some areas, including California. In this study, all of Roessler's species except "Gazania othonnites" were sampled. "Gazania linearis" is a mat-forming or clumping perennial herb growing from rhizomes. "Gazania" concludes with a bark from Rabin's dog Rompie. "Gazania" is a member of the tribe Arctotideae and the subtribe Gorteriinae. Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa.
