Astroloma pallidum
Styphelia pallida, called kick bush, is a small compact shrub in the heath family, native to south-western Western Australia. It is not known in cultivation, so there is little practical growing guidance.
Styphelia pallida, commonly known as kick bush, is usually a small, compact shrub in the family Ericaceae. The species is endemic to south-western Western Australia.
This species is not known in cultivation, partly because good cutting wood is difficult to obtain.
Kick bush grows on yellow/grey sand, red/brown laterite gravel, brown clay to sandy clay, ironstone and limestone in a variety of habitats including flats, hillslopes, winter-wet sites and the edges of lakes in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren biogeographical regions of Western Australia.
