Micromyrtus imbricata is a slender, intricately branched shrub of the myrtle family, endemic to the south coast of Western Australia, growing to about 0.2 to 1 m high. It is a wild native rather than a commonly cultivated garden plant, so care guidance is limited.
Micromyrtus imbricata is a species of the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a slender, erect shrub with broadly egg-shaped leaves, white, pink or red-tinged flowers 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) in diameter, and 10 stamens.
This species grows on flats along the south coast of Western Australia in the Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions, where it grows in sandy soils over granite.
