Description

Dicrastylis rugosifolia is a dense sprawling shrub, growing to 35 cm high. Its stems are roughly circular in cross section. The opposite and entire leaves are 4-7 mm long by 0.8-1.5 mm wide, and have branched (dendritic) hairs, and a blistered, puckered surface. There are no bracteoles, but there are bracts which are 1.5-4. mm long. The flowers are sessile. The calyx has five lobes (1.7-2 mm long), covered in dendritic hairs, and the white or cream corolla is 3-4 mm long, with no dots or stripes in its throat. There are five stamens. Flowers may be seen from August to December. [5]

It is found in the IBRA regions of Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, and the Geraldton Sandplains. [5]
