Apium prostratum subsp. howense is a flowering plant in the carrot family native to Australia's Lord Howe Island. The epithet howense derives from the name of that island.
The subspecies is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. There it is fairly common in sand pockets and cracks in coralline rocks on the shoreline, within the splash zone. Joseph Maiden's 1889 book 'The Useful Native Plants of Australia records how 'Apium australe' could be used as a culinary vegetable and also refers to it as 'Australian Celery".
