Shawia argophylla, commonly known as musk daisy-bush, native musk or silver shrub, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is a shrub or tree with silvery branchlets, egg-shaped to elliptic leaves, and white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.
Shawia argophylla can be propagated from seed or from cuttings. It prefers partial to full shade in soils that are neutral or slightly acidic, and is frost tolerant.
Shawia argophylla commonly grows on cool moist sheltered slopes and in fern gullies in taller eucalypt forests south from the Whian Whian State Conservation Area in eastern New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, through most of eastern Victoria apart from the Grampians to Tasmania where it is common and widespread.
