Stenanthera conostephioides

Stenanthera conostephioides, commonly known as flame heath,[2] is a species of small shrub that is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.

Stenanthera conostephioides is an erect or spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 20–100 cm (7.9–39.4 in).

[2][3][4] Stenanthera conostephioides was first formally described in 1845 by Otto Wilhelm Sonder in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from specimens collected by Theodor Siemssen near Port Adelaide in 1839.

[5][6][7] The specific epithet (conostephioides) refers to the similarity of this species to a plant in the genus Conostephium.

[2] Flame heath grows in mallee scrub and open forest in sandy soil.
