Cassinia uncata, commonly known as sticky cassinia,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is native to inland New South Wales and the south-east of South Australia.

It is an erect shrub with hairy young stems, narrow linear to needle-shaped leaves, and heads of off-white to cream-coloured flowers arranged in rounded, almost conical panicles.

The flower heads are 3.0–3.5 mm (0.12–0.14 in) long, surrounded by eighteen to twenty papery involucral bracts in four to six whorls.

Flowering occurs from December to July and the achenes are 0.6–1.0 mm (0.024–0.039 in) long with a pappus of about eighteen bristles.

[2][3] Cassinia uncata was first formally described in 1838 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham and the description was published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.
