Cassinia venusta is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae and is endemic to a small area near the border between New South Wales and Victoria.
It is an erect shrub with glandular-hairy branchlets, glossy green, needle-shaped leaves, and corymbs of hundreds to thousands of yellowish flower heads.
Flowering occurs from November to February and the achenes are about 1 mm (0.039 in) long and lack a pappus.
[2][3] Cassinia venusta was first formally described in 2004 by Anthony Edward Orchard in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected on the slopes of Pine Mountain in 2004.
[5] Cassinia venusta is restricted to a small area near the New South Wales - Victoria border where it grows in forest among granite boulders at altitudes between 240 and 940 m (790 and 3,080 ft).
