Persoonia chamaepeuce
Persoonia chamaepeuce, commonly known as the dwarf geebung or heathy geebung, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a prostrate shrub with crowded, linear leaves and yellow flowers in the leaf axils.
This geebung is suitable as a groundcover and has well-displayed flowers. It can be propagated from seed but requires a sunny position in well-drained soil. Although slow growing, it adapts readily to cultivation in areas of temperate climate.
The dwarf geebung grows in woodland and forest along the tablelands south from the New England district in New South Wales to Victoria where it is widely distributed and locally common in montane and subalpine areas.
