Ozothamnus obcordatus, the grey everlasting, is a shrub in the family Asteraceae, native to the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania in Australia.[2]
It grows to 1.5 metres high and has obcordate, broad-elliptic obovate leaves which are 6 to 15 mm long and 3 to 6 mm wide.[2] These have tips that bend backwards and are shiny and green on the top and covered with grey hairs underneath.[2]
The species is regarded as having potential in commercial cut flower production.[3]
