Ozothamnus ledifolius is a shrub from the Asteraceae family and one of 54 species in the genus Ozothamnus. It was introduced to Tasmania in 1929 by English horticulturist Harold Frederick Comber. The genus was named by Scottish botanist Robert Brown and the species was first described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle. It was later reclassified by Joseph Dalton Hooker. The shrub is commonly known as Kerosene Bush, Mountain Everlasting Bush, and Mountain Spice. It is slow-growing and can reach a height of 1-2m. The leaves are evergreen, glossy, and produce a peppery fragrance. The white flowers are small and attract bees, birds, and butterflies. The species is endemic to Tasmania and is found in alpine cushion and rock gardens. It is also used as an ornamental plant in coastal beds, slopes, and containers. The conservation status of Ozothamnus ledifolius is poor and it is mainly found in Mt. Wellington Park.
