Olearia algida (Alpine Daisy-bush) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.[2] It is a shrub to 1 metre high with crowded leaves. These are dark green above and woolly underneath and have revolute edges.[2][3] The flowerheads have 2 to 6 white ray florets.[2] The species was first formally described in The Victorian Naturalist in 1956 by Norman Wakefield.[1] It occurs near swampy areas within heath and grassland in high altitude areas of south-eastern New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.[2]
