Description
Olearia archeri is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6.6 ft), its foliage covered with T-shaped hairs. The leaves are narrowly elliptic, 12–99 mm (0.47–3.90 in) long and 3–15 mm (0.12–0.59 in) wide on a petiole 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) long and pale yellowish brown on the lower side. The heads are arranged in many groups of three on the ends of branchlets, each group on a peduncle up to 82 mm (3.2 in) long. Each head or daisy-like "flower" has 7 to 8 white ray florets, the petal-like ligule 8.8–11.2 mm (0.35–0.44 in) long, surrounding 19 to 27 yellow disc florets. Flowering occurs from September to March and the fruit is a brown achene, the pappus with 66–85 bristles.
