Brachyglottis Bellidioides Var. Setosa

Setose brachyglottis, scientifically known as Brachyglottis bellidioides var. setosa, is a rare and striking plant native to the mountainous regions of New Zealand. This unique species belongs to the Asteraceae family, commonly known as the daisy or sunflower family. Its distinguishing feature is its dense, hairy foliage and small, clustered yellow flowers that bloom in spring. The plant thrives in cool, moist environments and is often found in forest understories or on rocky slopes. Due to its limited range and habitat specificity, Setose brachyglottis is considered a vulnerable species requiring conservation efforts to ensure its survival.
