Ozothamnus rogersianus, commonly known as Nunniong everlasting, is a shrub in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to Victoria, Australia.[2]
It grows to 2.5 metres high and has narrowly linear leaves that are 10 to 40 mm long and 1 to 2 mm wide. These have green upper surfaces, while underneath they are covered with fine white hairs and a sticky yellowish resin. The white flower heads appear from December to March in the species' native range.[2]
The species was formally described in 1967 by botanist Jim Willis in Muelleria.[3] Willis gave it the name Helichrysum rogersianum. The species epithet honours Keith Rogers of Wulgulmerang who discovered it at Brumby Point on the Nunniong Plateau in East Gippsland.[4] In 1991, the species was transferred to the genus Ozothamnus.[1][5]
