Myoporum velutinum

Myoporum velutinum is a shrub which sometimes grows to a height of 4 metres (10 ft) and which has hairs on the stem and leaves but lacks the warty surface of many other myoporums. The leaves are arranged alternately and are lance shaped, usually 50–72 millimetres (2–3 in) long, 7–16 millimetres (0.3–0.6 in) wide, soft, covered with soft hairs, darker green on the upper surface and have a prominent mid-vein. The flowers are borne in leaf axils, usually in groups of 1 to 5 on stalks 4–9 millimetres (0.2–0.4 in) long. There are 5 triangular, pointed sepals and 5 petals forming a bell-shaped tube. The petals are white or pale lilac, sometimes spotted inside the tube and on the base of the lobes. The tube is 2.5–4 millimetres (0.1–0.2 in) long and the lobes are about the same length. The tube is hairy on its inner and outer surfaces and there are 4 stamens which extend slightly beyond the petal tube. The fruit that follows flowering is an oval-shaped drupe, about 3–3.5 by 3–4.5 millimetres (0.1 in–0.1 in × 0.1 in–0.2 in).

Myoporum velutinum occurs in a small area near Cape Le Grand where it grows along creeks in Melaleuca woodland.
