Cryptandra monticola is a small, erect or spreading shrub from the Rhamnaceae family, native to Western Australia, growing 0.5 to 1.5 m tall with white tubular flowers. It is a wild species of the Pilbara hills and is rarely cultivated, so care advice is general for cryptandras.
Cryptandra monticola is a flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with linear or narrowly oblong to elliptic leaves and head-like clusters of white, tube-shaped flowers.
This cryptandra mostly grows on the south-facing slopes of Mount Shiela and Mount Nameless at altitudes of 800 m (2,600 ft) or more in the Hamersley Range east of Newman in the Pilbara bioregion of northern Western Australia.
