Actites

Actites, commonly known as the dune thistle, beach thistle or coastal sow thistle, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Australia and contains only one species, Actites megalocarpus. It is a large, clumping herb with yellow flowers. Although accepted by Australian sources, others treat Actites as a synonym of Sonchus and the species as Sonchus macrocarpus.
