Ozothamnus hookeri, commonly known as kerosene bush, is an aromatic shrub species, endemic to Australia. It grows to between 0.5 and 1 metre in height and has white-tomentose branchlets. The scale-like leaves are 4 to 5 mm long and 0.5 to 1 mm wide. These are green on the upper surface, and white tomentose below.[1] The flower heads appear in dense clusters in summer and autumn[1] The species occurs in boggy sites and subalpine heathland New South Wales and Tasmania.[1]

The species was formally described in 1853 by German botanist Otto Wilhelm Sonder.[2] The Latin specific epithet hookeri refers to the English botanist William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865).[3]
