Olearia lyallii
Also called Subantarctic Tree Daisy
Macrolearia lyallii, the subantarctic tree daisy, is a New Zealand tree from the daisy family that can reach about 10 m tall; it is native to the Snares Islands and southern New Zealand. It is a cold-climate, windswept species, so growing it well means mimicking cool, humid, maritime conditions.
Macrolearia lyallii is a New Zealand plant from the genus Olearia. It is commonly known as the subantarctic tree daisy. The species is endemic to the Snares Islands and southern New Zealand, and has also established itself as an introduced species on the Auckland Islands, from where the type specimen was described. O. lyallii forms trees up to 10 metres (33 feet) tall with trunks 50 cm in diameter.
