Diocirea ternata is a low, resinous shrub in the figwort family, endemic to a small area near Balladonia in Western Australia, where it often forms dense ground cover. It is a species rather than a commonly grown garden plant, so care notes are general guidance for similar dry-climate Australian shrubs.
Diocirea ternata is a plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to a small area near Balladonia in Western Australia. It is a low shrub with a restricted distribution but which often occurs in large numbers, forming a dense ground cover. It is readily distinguished from the other three species in the genus by its unusual leaf arrangement.
Diocirea ternata has a restricted distribution in a small area near Balladonia in the Coolgardie biogeographic region where it grows in woodland on clay loam. Although the distribution is limited, in some places there is an almost continuous ground cover with thousands of individual plants.
