Xanthosia leiophylla
Cut Leaf Xanthosia is a small tufted herb or weak subshrub from south-eastern Australia, growing up to about 15 cm with reddish flowers in spring and summer. It is a wild heathland species rarely grown in gardens, so the key is to match its sandy, open woodland conditions.
Xanthosia leiophylla is a tufted herb or weak subshrub in the family Apiaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It has bifoliolate or trifoliate leaves and 2 to 4 rays with up to 3 reddish flowers.
