Crowea angustifolia var. platyphylla (Bush Crowea)
Crowea angustifolia is a variable shrub growing to a height of 0.3–3.5 m (1–10 ft) high, either erect or spreading and diffuse. The leaves are thin, glabrous, linear to broad elliptic, or egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base. They are 50–80 mm (2–3 in) long and less than 15 mm (0.6 in) wide. The flowers usually appear singly in the axils of the leaves on a pedicel 2–5 mm (0.08–0.2 in) long. There are between two and four bracteoles at the base of the flower and five separate sepals which are papery, more or less round and about 2 mm (0.08 in) long. There are five white or pink petals which are egg-shaped, thin and about 12 mm (0.5 in) long. The ten stamens and style are about 7 mm (0.3 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to December.
The species is endemic to the extreme south western corner of Western Australia, in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographic regions growing on sandy soils, gravel, granite, ridge tops, slopes and outcrops.
