Ozothamnus thyrsoideus, commonly known as sticky everlasting,[1] is a flowering shrub, endemic to south-eastern Australia. It grows to between 0.5 and 2 metres in height. Leaves are 15 to 30 mm long and 1.5 to 2 mm wide. Flowerheads appear in terminal corymbs in the summer.[1]
The species was formally described in 1838 by Swiss botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, based on plant material collected in Tasmania.[2]
It occurs in subalpine areas of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania.[1]
