About Taxandria spathulata (Schauer) J.R.Wheeler & N.G.Marchant
Taxandria spathulata (Schauer) J.R.Wheeler & N.G.Marchant is a shrub that takes a spindly, erect to spreading, or procumbent form, and usually grows to around 2 metres (7 ft) tall. Its leaves typically measure 3 to 7 millimetres (0.12 to 0.28 in) in length. The species blooms between September and October, producing small white petaled flowers. Each flower is roughly 1 cm (0.39 in) in diameter, and flowers form in dense clusters of approximately 20 flowers. Every flower contains around 10 stamens, with one stamen positioned opposite each sepal and each petal. This plant is most often found growing in dense bushland, located on small hills, low rocky ridges, plains, and coastal dunes. It is distributed along the south coast of Western Australia's Great Southern and Goldfields-Esperance regions. It grows in sandy, peaty clay soils that overlie granite, spongelite, or laterite.
