Tetratheca procumbems
Spreading pinkbells
Eleocarpaceae
Flowering: September through to February
Usual habitat/distribution: Commonish, but scattered around in sub alpine heathlands, grasslands from sea level up to mountains.
Status: Not sure
Description: Small little shrub branching mostly from the base, with slender stems and little singular flowers forming in the leaf axils. Wiry with mostly ‘procumbent’ stems, which basically means growing along the ground as opposed to growing up into the air. Although they do grow up in the air too, like this one I photographed. It was growing in amongst some rocks so it had a bit of protection. Leaves are generally in whorls of three, about a centimetre long and linear.
