Lipochaeta lobata, commonly known as shrubland nehe, is a perennial herb native to the Hawaiian Islands, specifically found in coastal dry shrublands and dry forests on Oʻahu, Maui, and Niʻihau. It is a member of the Asteraceae family and var. leptophylla is a federally listed endangered species. The plant typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet and has a sprawling form. It produces yellow, daisy-like flowers throughout the year, with a peak flowering season in the summer. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite showy due to their bright color and abundance.

Shrubland nehe is valued for its role in maintaining the ecological balance of its native dry habitats, where it helps to stabilize soils and provides nectar for native insects. In cultivation, it can be used in xeriscaping, a landscaping method that reduces or eliminates the need for supplemental water from irrigation. It is well-suited to rock gardens, native plant gardens, and as part of restoration projects for degraded dryland ecosystems. Shrubland nehe prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for suitable climates. However, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
