Helichrysum ephelos is a species of plant from South Africa.

The stems of this mat-forming perennial grow from a stolon that roots and branches freely.

[1] This plant is known only from the KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa.

[2] It grows on earth banks and tussocks at wetlands and the marshy sources of streams on the Fort Nottingham Commonage and the top of Insizwa Mountain.

[1][3] Helichrysum ephelos is considered to be rare by the South African National Biodiversity Institute.
