Olearia passerinoides
Slender daisy bush is a sticky, slender shrub from southern Australia with small white or mauve daisy flowers that appear through much of the year. It is a hardy native that suits dry, open gardens in full sun.
Olearia passerinoides, commonly known as slender daisy bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia. It is a slender, sticky shrub with linear leaves, and white or pale mauve and mauve or pink daisy flowers.
Olearia passerinoides grows in mallee, forest and shrubland in southern continental Australia. Only subsp. passerinoides is listed as occurring in Western Australia. Both subspecies are listed as occurring in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. In Victoria, subsp. glutinosa is only known from near Inglewood but subspecies passerinoides is more widely distributed but rare, in the north-west of that state.
