Cassinia subtropica, commonly known as bushy rosemary,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to north-eastern Australia.

It is shrub with woolly-hairy stems, lance-shaped to egg-shaped leaves and panicles of flower heads.

Cassinia subtropica is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and has grey or brown stems covered with fine, woolly hairs.

[2][3] Cassinia subtropica was first formally described in 1858 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by Walter Hill.
