Ozothamnus floribundus

Ozothamnus floribundus, commonly known as flowery everlastingbush is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family, Asteraceae. The species is endemic to Tasmania, Australia. It has a highly restricted range, only a single population of 25-30 individuals has been documented, near Cygnet in the state's south-east. It grows as a shrub to 1.2 m tall and is characterised by its abundant inflorescences. O. floribundus only gained formal recognition as distinct Ozothamnus species in 2018 following genetic, morphological, and ecological analysis. Despite this relatively recent designation as a distinct species, it has been recognised as a morphologically discrete taxon for far longer, with the first documented specimen of the species being collected in 1974....read more on Wikipedia.
