Conospermum amoenum

Conospermum amoenum is an erect or spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) wide. It has linear leaves 9–17 mm (0.35–0.67 in) long and 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in) wide. The flowers are blue or white, arranged in spikes of 4 to 8, the flowers forming a tube 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long. The upper lip is broadly egg-shaped, 1.5–2.5 mm (0.059–0.098 in) long wide, the lower lip joined for 0.75–1.0 mm (0.030–0.039 in) long with oblong lobes 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long with a prominent mid-vein. Flowering occurs from July to October and the fruit is a hairy, golden nut 1.75–2.0 mm (0.069–0.079 in) long and 2.0–2.5 mm (0.079–0.098 in) wide.

Conospermum amoenum is found on ironstone hills and uplands in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy to sandy clay soils often containing lateritic gravel. Subspecies amoenum is common between Waroona and Dalwallinu on the Darling Scarp and subsp. cuneatum is less common, found between Dryandra and York.
