Coronidium gunnianum (swamp everlasting) is a small, upright, woolly perennial herb with small, round, yellow, daisy flowers. In Tasmania, it occurs in eastern and central parts of the State from the Cambridge to Hadspen in grasslands on heavy soils and riverine woodlands in areas often inundatedThe restricted area of occupancy and low abundance puts this species at risk from losses due to chance or inadvertent events. Climatic changes such as increased temperatures, fires and drought may impact the species persistence and recruitment.

Permit: A permit is required under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 to 'take' (which includes kill, injure, catch, damage, destroy and collect), keep, trade in or process any specimen or products of a listed species. Additional permits may also be required under other Acts or regulations to take, disturb or interfere with any form of wildlife or its products, (e.g. dens, nests, bones). This may also depend on the tenure of the land and other agreements relating to its management. ​​​​​
