Hemigenia teretiuscula is a small upright shrub from the mint family, native to the dry southwest of Western Australia. It is rarely grown outside its native range and is best suited to a sunny, free-draining spot.
Hemigenia teretiuscula is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is an upright, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–80 cm (3.9–31.5 in), the leaves about 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter, more or less tapering cylindrical and somewhat sharply pointed. Flowering usually occurs from August to December and the flowers are bluish-purple.
This species was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by George Maxwell. The specific epithet (teretiuscula) means "somewhat terete".
