Astartea corniculata is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.[1]
Description
The open diffuse shrub, which typically grows to a height of 3 meters (9.8 ft), blooms between October and May, producing white-pink flowers, and can thrive in a variety of growing locations, including sandy peat, black sandy clay, and humus-rich soils, as well as quartz sand. It is also versatile in terms of its placement, growing well in flats, slopes, valleys, edges of creeks, swamps and wetlands, and flood plains.
