Hypocalymma longifolium, family Myrtaceae, also known as the long-leaved myrtle, is a low hairless shrub, up to 20 cm tall, with rigid erect branches and pale pink to white flowers that have five petals. The leaves are held in opposite pairs and are 4Ð6 cm long, linear and triangular in cross-section, and taper to a slightly recurved point. The flowers are stalkless and are in pairs held on a short, thick inflorescence stalk (Brown et al., 1998, p. 145).
