Micromyrtus sessilis is a small, dense, spreading shrub in the myrtle family, native to eastern Australia from south-east Queensland to New South Wales. It is grown mainly as a native garden shrub rather than a common houseplant, and its care needs are not well documented.
Micromyrtus sessilis is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a dense, spreading shrub with small, more or less linear leaves and flowers that are sometimes single in the upper leaf axils or in dense clusters along the branches. It is similar to M. ciliata but has a more northerly distribution.
This species occurs between Miles in Queensland and Griffith in New South Wales, mainly above 600 m (2,000 ft), in a range of habitats from mallee to forest, often in rocky places.
