Micromyrtus minutiflora

Micromyrtus minutiflora is a slender, spreading shrub that typically grows to height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) tall. The leaves are oblong to egg-shaped, 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long and 0.5–1.0 mm (0.020–0.039 in) wide with hairy edges. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, sometimes in clusters at the ends of branches, on a peduncle up to 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long, with 2 bracteoles about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long at the base. The sepals are membrane-like and about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long and the petals white and about 1 mm (0.039 in) long. There are 5 stamens, the filaments up to 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long. Flowering occurs in spring and the fruit is a nut.

This species grows in the western part of the Cumberland Plain where it grows on old alluvial soils. It is similar to M. ciliata that only grows on sandstone.
