Olearia odorata, the scented tree daisy, is a small divaricating shrub endemic to New Zealand, from the plant family Asteraceae. It has small light green leaves with a large amount of interlacing twigs and grows to around 2–4m in height. [2] In spring O. odorata produces many small white flowers. [3]
Remnants of this bush that grow in Otago are home to native moths and insects, and areas with this species are now being protected with covenants. [4] This plant is associated with the nationally endangered moth Stathmopoda albimaculata. [5]
