description_en: Genus of 3 species of cushion-forming or clump-forming, occasionally trailing perennials or subshrubs from high-altitude scree and rocky sites, to 2,000m (6,500ft), in the mountains of New Zealand. They have variably shaped, small, usually densely hairy, overlapping leaves, 1-3.5cm (1/2-1 1/2in) long, and tiny, daisy-like flowerheads. Vegetable sheep are fascinating foliage plants but difficult to cultivate. Grow in an alpine house, as they must have protection from winter wet.
