Description
Brachyloma ciliatum is a low-lying or erect shrub that typically grows to a height of about 30 cm (12 in) and forms suckers. Its branchlets are softly- or shaggy-hairy. The leaves are directed upwards, egg-shaped to oblong, 4–14 mm (0.16–0.55 in) long and 1.0–3.3 mm (0.039–0.130 in) wide with a small point on the tip. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a peduncle 0.5–1 mm (0.020–0.039 in) long, with egg-shaped bracteoles 1.2–2.0 mm (0.047–0.079 in) long at the base. The sepals are egg-shaped, 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long and the petals white, joined to form a cylindrical tube 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long with spreading to curved lobes 1.2–2.5 mm (0.047–0.098 in) long and bearded inside. Flowering occurs from October to January and the fruit is a glabrous, oval to spherical drupe 2.6–3.0 mm (0.10–0.12 in) long.
