Dolichoglottis scorzoneroides (syn Senecio scorzoneroides) is an herbaceous perennial, with fleshy, parallel veined leaves. The green leaves are narrow, parallel-sided to oval, up to 8 in (20 cm) long. The daisy flowers are 1.6–2.4 in (4–6 cm) across.

Dolichoglottis scorzoneroides is found in low to high alpine areas, in wetter parts of both North and South Islands, New Zealand. It hybridises with Dolichoglottis lyallii where the two occur together.
