Helichrysum leucopsideum, commonly known as satin everlasting,[2] is a flowering, perennial herb in the family Asteraceae.

Helichrysum leucopsideum is an upright, spreading perennial herb 15–50 cm (5.9–19.7 in) high, stems with occasional or thickly woolly glandular hairs.

The leaves are narrowly oblong to linear, 1.5–5 cm (0.59–1.97 in) long, 1–10 mm (0.039–0.394 in) wide, blunt to acute and ending with a sharp point.

Flowering occurs mostly in spring and summer and the fruit is cypsela 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long, smooth, brown and bristly.

[3][4][5] Helichrysum leucopsideum was first formally described in 1838 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle and the description was published in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.
