Ozothamnus lycopodioides, commonly known as clubmoss everlastingbush, is a plant species endemic to Tasmania.
The specific epithet "lycopodioides" refers to the resemblance of the foliage to that of plants (clubmosses) in the Lycopodium genus (-oides is a Greek suffix meaning 'resembling').
This dwarf evergreen shrub with spreading branches is suitable for native gardens, thriving in most soils with good drainage and tolerating full sun to part shade. It responds well to pruning for shape and is attractive to butterflies.
Ozothamnus lycopodioides is found in dry sclerophyll forest near the east coast of Tasmania, typically growing on rocky slopes along rivers. Key sites where populations of the species can be found include Paradise Gorge along the Tasman Highway, the Sugarloaf, Prosser River, Lake Leake Road, Kelvedon, Swansea, Swanston Road, north of Buckland Military Training Area, Little Swanport, Griffiths Rivulet and near the Thumbs picnic area. It is reserved in the Apslawn Forest Reserve, Cygnet River Forest Reserve, Dry Creek East Nature Reserve, Eastern Tiers Forest Reserve, Lost Falls Forest Reserve, Swan River Forest Reserve, Three Thumbs State Reserve and Wye River State Reserve.
