Phebalium brevifolium

Phebalium brevifolium is a small shrub, about 0.7 m tall, native to the dry sandplains of southern Western Australia, known only from a few sites near Cundeelee and Queen Victoria Spring. It is rarely cultivated, so care advice is inferred from related Phebalium species and dry-climate Australian shrubs.
