About Persoonia tenuifolia R.Br.
Persoonia tenuifolia, commonly known as fine-leaf geebung, is a spreading to low-lying shrub that usually reaches a height of 20 to 50 cm. Its young branchlets are covered in greyish hairs. The leaves are linear, 10 to 25 mm long and 0.3 to 0.5 mm wide, they usually curve upwards and have a groove on the lower surface. Flowers are arranged in groups of up to eight along a rachis 2 to 30 mm long, and the rachis usually continues growing after flowering. Each flower sits on a hairy pedicel 1 to 3 mm long, with a leaf at the base of the pedicel. The tepals are yellow, 8 to 10 mm long, and glabrous. This species mainly flowers between November and February. Fine-leaf geebung grows in heath and forest, occurring from sea level up to an altitude of 1050 m. It can be found in near-coastal areas between Bundaberg in Queensland and Grafton in New South Wales, and also on the Great Dividing Range and adjacent tablelands from Dalveen in Queensland to the Torrington and Yetman districts in New South Wales.
