Singapore Daisy

Singapore Daisy, Sphagneticola trilobata, Wedelia lobata

Found this plant/flower growing wildly at the beach in Negros.  I didn't know the name until recently when I saw it as a ground-cover at a riverbank park.  The park caretaker told me it's called Singapore Daisy, and it is considered a weed.  A South American native,  it is now common in the tropical and sub-tropical areas.  Singapore Daisy is deliberately planted as roadside and embankment stabilizer.  It forms dense infestations along undisturbed edges of rainforests and coastal areas.

Sunshine/MYM

A spot of sunshine by the banks of a river.
How would you describe this yellow flower to a blind person?
