Lipochaeta waimeaensis is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Waimea Canyon nehe.

This perennial herb produces daisylike yellow flower heads.

It only grows on steep slopes along the rim of Waimea Canyon on Kauai, where there are about 180 plants remaining.

[4] The main threat to the species is the loss and degradation of its habitat.
