Coronidium gunnianum, commonly known as pale swamp everlasting, pale everlasting or Gunn's everlasting[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is an erect perennial, with linear to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and solitary heads of pale yellow to brownish yellow daisy-like flowers.

Coronidium gunnianum is an erect, rhizomatous perennial that typically grows to a height of 50 cm (20 in) with few branches, and stems covered in cottony hairs pressed against the surface. Its leaves are linear to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, mostly 15–65 mm (0.59–2.56 in) long and 1–9 mm (0.039–0.354 in) wide, the upper surface glabrous or with cottony hairs, the lower surface obscured by cottony hairs pressed against the surface and many sessile glands. The heads of daisy-like flower are solitary, more or less spherical to depressed top-shaped, 10–25 mm (0.39–0.98 in) in diameter, with five to eight rows of pale yellow to brownish yellow involucral bracts. There are many florets, some outer ones female. Flowering mainly occurs from November to April, and the cypselas are 1.3–1.9 mm (0.051–0.075 in) long, glabrous, ridged and brown with 15 to 30 pappus bristles 3–4.5 mm (0.12–0.18 in) long.[3][4][5][6]
