About

Shawia viscosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and which is native to Tasmania and Victoria in south-eastern Australia. It is a bushy shrub with lance-shaped, egg-shaped or elliptic leaves arranged in opposite pairs, and white and yellow, daisy-like inflorescences.

Where it grows

Shawia viscosa grows in forest, mainly in Tasmania where it is widespread and reasonably common, especially in the south of the state, but also in Victoria where it is confined to coastal scrub and the edges of rainforest near Lakes Entrance.
