Coronidium elatum, commonly known as the white paper daisy[2] or tall everlasting, is a perennial herbaceous shrub in the family Asteraceae found in open forests in eastern Australia.
[4] The tall everlasting was collected by the English botanist and explorer Allan Cunningham and described by him in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's 1838 work Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis as Helichrysum elatum,[5][6] the species name being the Latin adjective elatus "tall".
Botanist Paul Graham Wilson erected the new genus Coronidium for 17 species of daisy of the eastern states of Australia,[7] and it was given its new name of C. elatum in 2008.
[7] It grows on shale, basalt or sandstone-based soils which are high in nutrients, in open forest or rainforest margins, under such trees as brown barrel (Eucalyptus fastigata), mountain grey gum (E. cypellocarpa), messmate (E. obliqua) or white stringybark (E.
[7] Coronidium elatum is a highly regarded and underutilised garden plant, producing abundant flowers and growing quickly.
