Micromyrtus patula

Micromyrtus patula is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to a small area of south-eastern Queensland.

It is a shrub with small, overlapping linear to lance-shaped leaves, and small white flowers arranged singly in leaf axils, usually with 5 stamens in each flower.

[2] Micromyrtus patula was first formally described in 1997 by Anthony Bean in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens he collected in the Barakula State Forest, north-north-west of Chinchilla in 1994.

[3] The specific epithet (patula) means "open or "wide", alluding to the spreading habit of this species.

[2] This species of micromyrtus is only known from the type location in the Barakula State Forest, where it grows in heath on a rocky sandstone platform.
