A slender, perennial herb native to south-eastern Australia, Podolepis linearifolia produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers on erect stems, typically blooming from spring to early summer. It grows in grasslands, open woodlands, and along roadsides, preferring well-drained soils and sunny locations.
 
The Basalt Plains Copper Wire daisy is valued in native gardens and revegetation projects for its vibrant colour, ability to attract pollinators, and contribution to biodiversity in native plant communities.
