Description

Lasiopetalum parviflorum is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–1 m (1 ft 8 in – 3 ft 3 in) high and has its young stems densely covered with rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems, mostly 30–60 mm (1.2–2.4 in) long and 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) wide with the edges rolled under. The lower surface of the leaves is densely covered with grey and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in small groups on a short peduncle and are greenish to cream-coloured with more or less linear bracteoles 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long below the base of the sepals. The petal-like sepal lobes are about 3 mm (0.12 in) long, with woolly white hairs on the back. Flowering occurs in spring and the fruit is a woolly-hairy capsule 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) in diameter.

Distribution and habitat

This lasiopetalum grows in grassy woodland and forest on the coast and nearby ranges of New South Wales and south-eastern Queensland. [2] [3]
