Commersonia hermanniifolia

Commersonia hermanniifolia, commonly known as wrinkled kerrawang,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.

It is a prostrate or trailing shrub with oblong to lance-shaped leaves that are paler on the lower surface, and flowers with five white sepals fading to pink and five pinkish petals.

Commersonia hermanniifolia is a prostrate or trailing shrub with stems up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) long, that spread across the ground and are often pendent down sandstone rock faces.

Juvenile plants and those recovering from fire are sometimes larger than adult leaves and have a petiole 10–30 mm (0.39–1.18 in) long.

[3][2][4][5] Commersonia hermanniifolia was first formally described in 1823 by Carl Sigismund Kunth in Nova Genera et Species Plantarum from an unpublished description by Jaques Étienne Gay.
