Olearia oliganthema F.Muell. ex Benth. (1867:469)

Taxonomy & Nomenclature

Synonyms: Aster oliganthemus (F.Muell. ex Benth.) F.Muell. in Syst. Census Austral. Pl. 1: 78 (1882); Aster argophyllus var. oliganthemus F.Muell. in Fragm. 5: 69 (1865)

Conservation Status

Missing (Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3 ['Possibly extant']) or Extinct (Humphreys et al., 2019; Albani Rocchetti et al., 2022; Christenhusz & Govaerts, 2024; POWO, 2024)

Last record: 1866 (Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3; Christenhusz & Govaerts, 2024)

A 1999 collection of infertile material was tentatively ID'd as O. oliganthema, but it is impossible to know for sure, and revisits did not record the species (Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3).

Distribution
