Acacia myrtifolia prostrate form or the Prostrate Myrtle Wattle does not have true leaves but leaf-like flattened stems called phyllodes.
In this plant the phyllodes are elliptic and slightly curved and can be up to 50 mm long by about 25 mm wide with prominent veins along the margins and the midrib.
The creamy coloured, globular shaped flowers appear in fluffy clusters and occur on short racemes from the leaf axils in spring.
This is an unusual form of the species and for native plant lovers it makes a distinctive, colourful and useful ground cover.
