Brachyscome ascendens, the border ranges daisy,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to Australia.

Brachyscome ascendens is a herbaceous perennial with slender stems rising from the base of the plant or upper leaves.

The thin, brown dry fruit are 1.9–2.3 mm (0.075–0.091 in) long, flat, egg-shaped with prominent small warty protuberances on the surface.

[2][3] Brachyscome ascendens was first formally described in 1948 by Gwenda Davis and the description was published in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales.

[4][5] The specific epithet ascendens is derived from the Latin word ascendo meaning "mount", "climb", "rise" or "grow".
