Notothlaspi australe is a species of alpine Brassicaceae from New Zealand. These species are often called penwipers, which can apply as a generic term for this species as well. It is endemic to the South Island of New Zealand.
Notothlaspi australe is known exclusively on to the northern mountain ranges of the South Island of New Zealand, where it is present in alpine and subalpine habitats. Notothlaspi australe does not tend to live on the subranges that are composed of ultramafic rock like Maungakura / Red Hill, where the newly described Notothlaspi viretum dominates instead.
