Shawia pinifolia, commonly known as the pine-daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae which is endemic to Tasmania. It is a shrub with rigid, linear, sharply-pointed leaves and white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.
Seeds can be collected from seeding Shawia pinifolia in the late summer to early autumn (January-March), when the plant releases the fluffy, white achenes. These can be collected and dried, and if sowed within a short time in a surface layer of loamy, low-phosphorus soil, can yield young S. pinifolia seedlings. Best sowing months in Tasmania are March-April and October-November, when conditions are mild and frosts rare. Germination occurs in two to five weeks after planting. Plants may also be propagated from cuttings taken from healthy, young specimens.
Shawia pinifolia is common in alpine or subalpine regions of Tasmania, including on Mount Wellington, Mount Dundas, Mount Sorell and Mount Field.
