Azorella is a genus of about 70 species of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to South America, New Zealand and the islands of the Southern Ocean.
They are low-growing dwarf mat-forming plants growing in high exposure on mountains and subantarctic coasts; with great age they may form rounded mounds of foliage up to 1 m high but are usually less than 10 cm high. Several species are grown as ornamental plants in rock gardens.
