Schoenia cassiniana (common name - Pink everlasting)[1] is a species of plant in the tribe Gnaphalieae within the family Asteraceae, native to Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory.[2] It was first described in 1829 by Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré as Helichrysum cassinianum,[3][4] but was transferred to the genus Schoenia in 1845 by Joachim Steetz.[3][5]

It is an annual herb, growing to heights of 7 cm to 70 cm on sandy, loamy, clay and stony soils.[6] Its pink and yellow flowers may be seen from June to November.[6]
