Flora of Victoria

Leaves linear to filiform or oblanceolate, 2–10 cm long, 0.5–1.5 mm wide, cottony, with revolute margins. Outer involucral bracts usually brown to purple, inner bracts white. Flowers Nov.–Dec.

CVU, DunT, GGr, VAlp, VVP, WaP. Also NSW, ACT, Tas. Very rare in Victoria, the only recent collections from volcanic grassland remnants in the Wickliffe, Willaura, Streatham, Inverleigh and Creswick districts. All other Victorian collections were made last century, from e.g. Mt Cole, the Grampians and the Port Fairy district.

Collections from the Victorian alps have been attributed to this subspecies, but they may be the result of hybridisation between Leucochrysum alpinum and Leucochrysum albicans subsp. albicans.
