& S.J.Patrick Persoonia micranthera, commonly known as the small-flowered snottygobble,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the south-west of Western Australia.
Persoonia micranthera is a low-lying to prostrate shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–40 cm (3.9–15.7 in) with thin bark and branchlets that are hairy in their first year.
[3][4][5][6] Persoonia micranthera was first formally described in 1994 by Peter Weston in the journal Telopea from specimens he collected on the summit of Bluff Knoll in 1980.
[5][7] Small-flowered snottygobble grows as an understorey shrub in thicket vegetation at high altitudes on peaks in the eastern Stirling Range.
[8] The main threats to the species include Phytophthora cinnamomi causing dieback, inappropriate fire regimes, trampling and grazing by local fauna.
