Homoranthus prolixus

Homoranthus prolixus is a spreading shrub to 0.8 m (2 ft 7 in) high with a mostly ascending growth habit, and branches that arch upwards at the apex. The dull, blue-green leaves have a whitish bloom, decussate, linear to oblong-lance shaped, 3–6 mm (0.12–0.24 in) long, 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in) wide, upper surface flat or occasionally concave, more or less smooth and gradually tapering to a point on a petiole 0.5 mm (0.020 in) long. The one to six yellow to red flowers are borne on upper branches, about 5 mm (0.20 in) long, petals broadly egg-shaped, 0.8–1.5 mm (0.031–0.059 in) long, floral tube five ribbed, smooth, 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long, style 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long, and the peduncle 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to December and fruits from September to January.

Granite homoranthus grows from Inverell to Bendemeer in northern New South Wales in woodland and heath on shallow sandy soils on and around granite or acid volcanic outcrops.
