Description
Lasiopetalum quinquenervium is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.25–1 m (1–3 ft), its stems and leaves covered with star-shaped hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped with a heart-shaped base, 30–70 mm (1.2–2.8 in) long and 10–45 mm (0.39–1.77 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in loose groups, each flower on a pedicel 1.5–5 mm (0.059–0.197 in) long with hairy bracteoles 6–9 mm (0.24–0.35 in) long at the base of the sepals. The sepals are pink or white, 6.0–7.5 mm (0.24–0.30 in) long, fused for half their length, and there are no petals. The anthers are 2.4–2.8 mm (0.094–0.110 in) long on filaments 1.4–2.0 mm (0.055–0.079 in) long. Flowering occurs from August to December.
