About Chorizema parviflorum Benth.
Chorizema parviflorum Benth. is an erect or ascending shrub that usually reaches a height of 20 to 50 cm (7.9 to 19.7 in), with branches that are more or less glabrous. Its leaves are linear to narrowly egg-shaped, with the narrower end positioned toward the base. Leaves are typically 20 to 40 mm (0.79 to 1.57 in) long and 1 to 4 mm (0.039 to 0.157 in) wide, but often vary in size. The leaf edges curve downwards, the leaf tip is sharply pointed, and the lower leaf surface is covered in soft hairs. Flowers are arranged in racemes at the ends of branches, with narrowly lance-shaped bracts and bracteoles at the base of each flower. The sepals are 2 to 3 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) long, while the petals are 4 to 7 mm (0.16 to 0.28 in) long, yellow with a reddish centre. Flowering takes place in spring, and the fruit is a broadly oval pod 5 to 7 mm (0.20 to 0.28 in) long. This species mostly grows in woodland, heath or forest. It is widespread but not common, occurring from south-east Queensland to the coast of New South Wales, extending as far south as the Sydney region.
