Description

Lasiopetalum cordifolium is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1.5 m (1 ft 4 in – 4 ft 11 in), its foliage covered with star-shaped hairs. The leaves are heart-shaped, 15–55 mm (0.59–2.17 in) long and 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in cymes, each flower on a pedicel 3.5–4.2 mm (0.14–0.17 in) long with bracteoles 2.5–4 mm (0.098–0.157 in) long at the base of the sepals. The sepals are pink, cream-coloured or white, covered with star-shaped hairs and 5.0–6.4 mm (0.20–0.25 in) long with lobes about half the length of the sepals. The petals are reduced to small scaled or lobes and there are five stamens. Flowering occurs from September to December.
