Lipochaeta venosa is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name spreading nehe.

This perennial herb produces daisylike yellow flower heads.

It grows on cinder cones on Hawaii, where there are six occurrences for a total population around 3000 individuals.

Much of the area is ranchland grazed by cattle and roamed by feral pigs.

Cinder mining occurs in the area, destroying local vegetation.
