Micromyrtus delicata

Micromyrtus delicata is a shrub that typically grows up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high, with erect branchlets. Its leaves overlap each other and are linear to narrowly egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 1.7–3.9 mm (0.067–0.154 in) long, 0.4–0.8 mm (0.016–0.031 in) wide and sessile or on a petiole up to 0.3 mm (0.012 in) long. The leaves have prominent oil glands and the edges of the leaves sometimes have finely toothed margins. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a peduncle 0.5–0.9 mm (0.020–0.035 in) long, each flower 2.5–3.0 mm (0.098–0.118 in) wide. There are 2 bracteoles about 0.6 mm (0.024 in) long at the base of the flower. There are 5 relatively inconspicuous, translucent sepals and 5 keeled petals 0.9–1.2 mm (0.035–0.047 in) long and 0.9–1.0 mm (0.035–0.039 in) wide. There are five stamens, each opposite a petal, the filaments 0.3–0.4 mm (0.012–0.016 in) long. Flowering has been observed between January and March.

This species of micromyrtus is only known from the type location in central eastern Queensland, where it grows in open woodland.
