Distribution
Euryops chrysanthemoides is indigenous to southern Africa, where it occurs in the Eastern Cape, along the coast and inland, to KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Eswatini. It is usually found on forest edges, in riverine bush and in ravines, as well as in coastal scrub, grassland and disturbed areas. It is a ruderal weed in New South Wales, although it is not invasive in all places where it is cultivated or has naturalized.[3]
