Olearia decurrens, commonly known as the clammy daisy bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to arid, inland Australia. It is a glabrous, sticky, twiggy shrub with narrow egg-shaped to linear leaves sometimes with toothed edges, and white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.
Seldom seen in cultivation, O. decurrens is drought- and frost-tolerant. It grows best in sunny or part-shaded locations with good drainage. Pruning prevents plants from becoming too spindly or leggy.
Olearia decurrens grows in mallee scrub and forest in arid areas and is found across inland Australia, from Dubbo and Brewarrina in New South Wales, westwards across inland Victoria and South Australia and into Western Australia where it is found in the Gascoyne, Gibson Desert, Great Victoria Desert and Murchison biogeographic regions.
