Ourisia breviflora subsp. uniflora is a subspecies of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae that is endemic to mountainous habitats of the Andes of southern Chile and Argentina. Rodolfo Amando Philippi described O. uniflora in 1858, which is now recognised as a subspecies of O. breviflora. Plants of this subspecies are found in the northern part of the range of O. breviflora in the Andes of southern Chile and Argentina from 37–44°S latitude. They have usually glabrous (hairless) leaves, no dark purple veins on the corollas, and floral bracts up to 5 mm long.
Ourisia breviflora subsp. uniflora is endemic to the Andes mountains of Chile and Argentina from approximately 37°S to 44°S latitude. It is found in the Chilean regions of Biobío, Araucanía, Los Ríos and Los Lagos, and the Argentinean provinces of Neuquén and Río Negro, including multiple national parks. It can be found from 500 to 2000 m above sea level in wet, shady, rocky habitats such as stream banks in Nothofagus forest near the treeline.
