Micromyrtus ninghanensis is a low, spreading subshrub from south-western Western Australia, reaching about 40 cm, with tiny white flowers. It is a native wildflower of a restricted hill habitat and is not a common garden or houseplant.
Micromyrtus ninghanensis is a species of the flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, spreading shrub with egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end toward the base, white flowers 3.0–3.5 mm (0.12–0.14 in) in diameter, and 10 stamens in each flower.
