About Andersonia lehmanniana Sond.
Andersonia lehmanniana Sond. is a shrub that usually reaches a height of 15 to 60 centimetres (5.9 to 23.6 inches). It produces lance-shaped leaves with pointed tips. The leaves are 1 to 10 millimetres (0.039 to 0.394 inches) long, with their ends curved backwards. Its flowers are clustered into heads containing three to twelve or more flowers. Each flower has oblong sepals 5 to 9 millimetres (0.20 to 0.35 inches) long. Petals can be white, cream-coloured, pink, blue, or purple, and form a tube. The petal lobes are shorter than the petal tube, and are bearded on the inside. This species grows in sandy soil on sandplains or hills, between Geraldton and Hopetoun, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia. The subspecies Andersonia lehmanniana subsp. lehmanniana occurs in near-coastal areas, while subsp. pubescens grows in more inland areas within these same regions.
