Asterolasia hexapetala is a species of erect, spreading shrub that is endemic to the Warrumbungles in New South Wales.
It has oblong to elliptical leaves with star-shaped hairs, especially on the lower surface, and white flowers arranged in small groups in leaf axils and on the ends of branchlets, the back of the petals densely covered with white, yellow or brown, woolly star-shaped hairs.
Asterolasia hexapetala is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 3 m (9.8 ft).
[2][3][4] This species was first formally described in 1825 by French botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, who gave it the name Phebalium hexapetalum.
[7] The name originates from the Ancient Greek words; aster, lasios, and hexapetala, meaning star, hairy (referring to hairs on the leaves), and six-petals.
