Anaphalis triplinervis is an Asian species of flowering herbaceous perennial plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the Himalayas (Tibet, Afghanistan, northern India, Nepal, Bhutan). Grey-green felted leaves produce sprays of small white flower heads.

The plants with their veined leaves are valued as groundcover, and the blooms as dried flowers, hence the common name triple-veined pearly everlasting.
