Helichrysum pumilum, commonly known as dwarf everlasting, is a rosette herb from the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Tasmania, where it is commonly found in the West and Southwest of the island state. It is distinctive by its inflorescence, with the flower stalk being densely matted in fine white hairs and the daisy-like flower head having numerous pink or white ray floret-like bracts.
Endemic to Tasmania, Helichrysum pumilum grows mostly in the West and Southwest of the state. Seemingly rare sightings have been recorded in the East of the state. The range of H. somalense extends from buttongrass plains to sub-alpine areas, even to the slopes or summits of mountain ranges. The originally described variety, somalense, is mostly confined to the low nutrient, peaty soils of buttongrass plains, occasionally creeping into sub-alpine areas. The variety described by A.M Buchanan, spathulatum, is more confined to the mountainous alpine areas of the West and Southwest, growing in shallow, skeletal soils.
