About Darwinia vestita (Endl.) Benth.
Darwinia vestita (Endl.) Benth. is an erect, bushy shrub that typically grows 0.2 to 1 metre (7.9 inches to 3 feet 3.4 inches) tall, and produces both short and long arching branches. Its leaves are densely packed, egg-shaped, oblong to nearly linear, and 2 to 4.5 millimetres (0.079 to 0.177 inches) long. The upper surface of the leaves is concave, while the lower surface has a prominent keel. The flowers are arranged into more or less spherical heads on a stalk (peduncle) about 2 millimetres (0.079 inches) long, with bracts that fall off as the flowers open. The sepals are about 4 millimetres (0.16 inches) long and have small, scale-like lobes. The petals are white or reddish-pink and about 2 millimetres (0.079 inches) long. Flowering takes place between July and December. This species grows on stony hillsides, sandplains, granite outcrops, coastal areas and swamps across a wide area of the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
