About Johnsonia lupulina R.Br.

Johnsonia lupulina is a rhizomatous, tufted, clump-forming perennial grass-like herb. Its leaves measure 48–75 mm (1.9–3.0 in) long and 1.7–2.3 mm (0.067–0.091 in) wide. The flowering scape is 42–72 mm (1.7–2.8 in) long, and bears broadly lance-shaped floral bracts that are 17–24 mm (0.67–0.94 in) long and 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) wide. The creamy-white perianth is 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long, and its sepals are wider than its petals. The anthers are 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long, and the style is 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long. Flowering takes place from September to November, and the fruit is a capsule 7–8 mm (0.28–0.31 in) long. This species grows between Albany and Collie in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia. It inhabits dunes, roadsides, and damp locations within woodland.
