Laxmannia minor |
Laxmannia minor, also known as paperlily, is flowering herbaceous plant that occurs in Southwest Australia. It is a slender, perennial stoloniferous plant, propped on its roots to avoid desiccation when the soil surface temperature is high. The height is between 90–250 mm (3.5–9.8 in). White flowers are presented on a scape from September to December. The flowerhead is a small cluster of 18–28 flowers. The petal-like flower parts are 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long. [2]
The preference is for black or grey peaty soil on winter wet plains or the regional granite outcrops. [3]
The description of the species was published by Robert Brown in 1810. [4]
