Xanthosia huegelii
Heath Xanthosia is a low, weak-stemmed perennial herb or subshrub from southern Australian heath and woodland, growing up to about 15 cm tall with small white flowers. It is a wild native plant, so grow it from local or ethically sourced seed in conditions that mimic its sandy, winter-wet heathland home.
Xanthosia huegelii is a weak, low-lying to erect or ascending perennial herb or subshrub in the family Apiaceae and is endemic to southern Australia. It usually has trifoliate leaves and hairy white flowers in umbels of 3 to 6.
Xanthosia huegelii grows in near-coastal regions in Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria. In Victoria it grows mainly in heath and woodland and in Western Australia, in winter-wet areas, sandplains and outcrops in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
