About

Ozothamnus scutellifolius, commonly referred to as bush everlasting, scale-leaf everlasting or button-leaf everlasting, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. This species is endemic to Tasmania, Australia, and is locally frequent on dry hillsides in the east of the state.

Where it grows

Ozothamnus scutellifolius is a hardy shrub endemic to dry eucalypt woodland in well-drained soils in the east of Tasmania. Distribution ranges from St. Helens at the northern tip, south along the east coast and southern midlands to Cape Bruny on Bruny Island, with very small outlying populations scattered along the Central plateau and the northern coast. Despite local abundance, it is considered an endangered species due to its restricted global distribution.
