About Pseudanthus pimeleoides Sieber ex Spreng.
Pseudanthus pimeleoides Sieber ex Spreng. is a compact shrub that typically grows up to 60 cm (24 in) tall, and produces many glabrous branchlets. Its leaves are linear to narrowly egg-shaped, measuring 7–13 mm (0.28–0.51 in) long and 1.0–1.7 mm (0.039–0.067 in) wide, and grow from a petiole 0.4–1 mm (0.016–0.039 in) long. At the base of each leaf are reddish-brown stipules, which are narrowly triangular or broadly egg-shaped and 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) long. The leaves themselves are glabrous, with a conspicuous mid-rib on their lower surface. Flowers are arranged singly in upper leaf axils, with 1.0–1.3 mm (0.039–0.051 in) long bracts at their base, though they appear clustered at the ends of branches. Male flowers sit on a 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long pedicel, and have six creamy-white tepals that are 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) long and 0.7–1.6 mm (0.028–0.063 in) wide, plus six stamens. Female flowers are sessile, and have six tepals 1.4–3 mm (0.055–0.118 in) long and 0.5–0.8 mm (0.020–0.031 in) wide. Flowering of this species has been recorded from February to November. The fruit is a roughly spherical capsule about 4 mm (0.16 in) long and 2.1 mm (0.083 in) wide. In terms of distribution and habitat, Pseudanthus pimeleoides grows in sandy soil in moist gullies. It occurs between Colo Heights and Bargo in the Sydney region of New South Wales, with a small number of records also from the upper Hunter Valley.
