Acrotriche cordata, commonly known as coast ground-berry,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to southern Australia.
Acrotriche cordata is an erect or spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of about 50 cm (20 in) and has hairy branches.
Flowering occurs from July to October and the fruit is a flattened spherical, pale green drupe about 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long.
[4][5] In 1810, Robert Brown transferred the species to Acrotriche as A. cordata in his Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.
[7] Coast ground-berry grows on coastal or near-coastal limestone on cliffs and dunes in the Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Hampton, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren of Western Australia[8] and to the south-east of South Australia.
