Striking mauve-pink flowers sitting in clusters in the axils of rounded leaves are a feature of this straggling upright shrub. Seen growing in the Stirling ranges NP where it forms part of the understorey among taller eucalyptus. The broad, alternate leaves are about 4cm across. Seed capsules are without projections.
