Conostylis misera

Conostylis misera, commonly known as grass conostylis,[1] is a prostrate, rhizomatous, tufted perennial, grass-like plant or herb in the family Haemodoraceae, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Conostylis misera is a prostrate, rhizomatous, proliferous perennial that typically grows to a height of 5–18 cm (2.0–7.1 in) high.

[1][3][4] Conostylis misera was first formally described in 1846 by Stephan Endlicher in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.

[7] This species of conostylis grows in sandy loam in winter-west flats from Mount Barker and the Porongurups to the Stirling Range in the Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[3][4] Conostylis misera is listed as "endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999[1] and as "Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[4] meaning that it is in danger of extinction.
