Blumea tenella is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae found in northern Australia from Queensland through the Northern Territory to Western Australia.[1] It is also found in Indonesia, Borneo, New Guinea and New Caledonia.[2]

Blumella tenella is an aromatic herb with yellow flowers, growing from 3 to 40 cm high. It is found on rocky or loam soils and on cracking clay on river flood plains, near creeks and swamps.[3]

Blumea tenella was first described in 1834 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle.[4]

The Walmajarri people of the southern Kimberley call this plant Ngurnungurna.[5]
