Olearia chathamica is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand.
Olearia, most commonly known as daisy-bush, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae, the largest of the flowering plant families in the world. Olearia are found in Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. The genus includes herbaceous plants, shrubs and small trees. The latter are unusual among the Asteraceae and are called tree daisies in New Zealand. All bear the familiar daisy-like composite flowerheads in white, pink, mauve or purple.
The flora of the Chatham Islands consists of around 388 terrestrial plant species, of which 47 are endemic. The Chatham Islands make up the Chatham floristic province of the Neozeylandic Region of the Antarctic Kingdom.
Olearia lyallii is a New Zealand plant from the genus Olearia. It is commonly known as the subantarctic tree daisy. The species is endemic to the Snares Islands and southern New Zealand, and has also established itself as an introduced species on the Auckland Islands, where the type specimen was described from. O. lyallii forms trees up to 10 m tall with trunks 50 cm in diameter.
Olearia angulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand.
Olearia fragrantissima is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Olearia hectorii is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. Its common names include deciduous tree daisy and Hector's tree daisy. It is endemic to New Zealand.

Forbes's snipe, was a species of New Zealand snipe endemic to the Chatham Islands. It was the larger of two species found there, the smaller being the surviving Chatham snipe. It was never seen alive by scientists and is known only from fossil material collected on the islands. Why it became extinct while its smaller relative survived is a mystery, as is the exact timing of its extinction, although it may have survived, unnoticed, until the 15th century.
Olearia lirata, the snowy daisy-bush or dusty daisy-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It occurs in moist forest and scrub in New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania.
Olearia megalophylla, the large-leaf daisy bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is a shrub up to 2 metres high with scattered leaves. These are dark green above, woolly underneath, and are 20 to 120 mm long and 6 to 28 mm wide. The flower heads have 5 to 9 white ray florets and 9 to 14 yellow disc florets. The species was first formally described by Ferdinand von Mueller in Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania in 1859 and named Eurybia megalophylla. In 1865, he placed the species in the genus Aster and finally in Olearia in 1867. It occurs in moist sclerophyll forest in south-eastern New South Wales and Victoria.
Beyeria Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on Kangaroo Island in the gazetted locality of Haines, about 16 kilometres south of Kingscote on the northern edge of the MacGillivray Plain.
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. In spring O. odorata produces many small white flowers.
Sophora chathamica, the coastal kōwhai, sometimes known as Chatham Island kōwhai, is one of 8 species of native sophora or kōwhai in New Zealand and grows naturally in the north-west of the North Island in New Zealand, as far south as the Tongaporutu River in north Taranaki, and as far north as Te Paki. It can also be found growing near Wellington and the Chatham Islands, although these later plantings are thought to be a result of Māori plantings in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Prior to 2001, it was included as variant of Sophora microphylla, therefore references to either Sophora microphylla var. chathamica or Sophora microphylla subsp. microphylla var. chathamica are considered references to coastal kowhai.
Verran Tanks Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia, located on the Eyre Peninsula in the gazetted locality of Verran about 105 kilometres (65 mi) north of Port Lincoln and about 55 kilometres (34 mi) south-east of Lock.
