'''''Azorella''''' is a [[genus]] of about 70 [[species]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Araliaceae]], native to [[South America]], [[New Zealand]] and the islands of the [[Southern Ocean]]. The genus is sometimes placed in family [[Apiaceae]].

They are low-growing dwarf mat-forming plants growing in high exposure on [[mountain]]s and subantarctic [[coast]]s; with great age they may form rounded mounds of foliage up to 1 m high but are usually less than 1 dm high. Several species are grown as [[ornamental plant]]s in [[rock garden]]s.
