About Brachyloma ciliatum (R.Br.) Benth.
Brachyloma ciliatum is a low-lying or erect shrub that typically grows to around 30 centimeters (12 inches) tall, and forms suckers. Its branchlets are covered in soft or shaggy hair. Leaves point upwards, and are egg-shaped to oblong. They measure 4–14 millimeters (0.16–0.55 inches) long and 1.0–3.3 millimeters (0.039–0.130 inches) wide, with a small point at the tip. Flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, on a peduncle 0.5–1 millimeter (0.020–0.039 inches) long. Egg-shaped bracteoles 1.2–2.0 millimeters (0.047–0.079 inches) long grow at the base of each flower. The sepals are egg-shaped and 1.5–2.0 millimeters (0.059–0.079 inches) long. The petals are white, joined to form a cylindrical tube 2–3 millimeters (0.079–0.118 inches) long. The tube has spreading to curved lobes 1.2–2.5 millimeters (0.047–0.098 inches) long, which are bearded on the inside. Flowering takes place between October and January.
