Acaena caesiiglauca is a native evergreen perennial ground cover found in mountainous areas and subalpine tussock grasslands, east of the Southern Alps, South Island, New Zealand. 
It forms large patches meters across. The blue-grey leaves comprise 7–9 leaflets and are 3.5–5 cm long. It does not have underground runners.
In summer whitish flowers on stalks develop then globes of spiny bracts form into brownish-red burrs, like pom-poms above the leaves. It is these burrs that trampers often find adhering to their socks and are carried away, an attribute that makes this plant loathed by sheep farmers.
