Celmisia major is a species of daisy that is endemic to New Zealand. It is split into two different varieties, Celmisia major var. major and Celmisia major var. brevis. Despite being in the same species, it is thought that the two varieties are not close to one another, with botanist Peter James de Lange stressing critical study on the taxonomy of the daisies. It was first described by Thomas Cheeseman in 1925. The major variety is found in the Auckland area and nearby islands, while the brevis variety is confined to Mount Taranaki.
