Olearia ilicifolia is an evergreen, much-branched spreading large shrub or small tree, reaching 5 m high. 
Its stiff shiny grey-green narrow, spear-shaped leaves are 5–10 centimetres long with undulating and prickly-toothed edges. The underside of the leaves has a yellowish to white closely pressed tomentum. 
The small daisy flowers which appear late spring to mid-summer are white with yellow centres and grow in large terminal corymbs.  
Olearia ilicifolia is found in lowland to subalpine forest, and scrub from sea level to 1,200 metres in the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island.  It is growing on Mt Egmont/Taranaki.


It is closely related to the sub-alpine Olearia macrodonta, with which it shares the names Mountain Holly and New Zealand Holly, however, it is much more common than Olearia macrodonta.
