Yareta (Azorella compacta)

An evergreen perennial -
"occurring in the Puna grasslands of the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, the north of Chile and the west of Argentina at between 3200 and 4500 metres altitude... Yareta is well-adapted to high insolation rates which are typical of the highlands, and cannot grow in shade... Many yaretas are over 3,000 years old."
Kuriositas has about a dozen more photos, and some additional ones are here.  Via Neatorama.
