Helichrysum lanceolatum, commonly known as niniao, is a species of plant endemic to New Zealand.
Helichrysum lanceolatum grows well in dry soil and prefers open, sunny aspects and rocky ground. Historically thought to grow only in rocky habitats it now appears to grow well in ecologically disturbed sites, forest margins, as well as dry and humid and open forest ecosystems and coastal habitats. It is one of several native shrubby understory species in pōhutukawa/kānuka dominant forest on Great Barrier Island.
