Cyanothamnus nanus var. hyssopifolius

A shrub to 0.3 metres high, erect or sprawling to prostrate.

It is found as far north as Mt Wilson west of Sydney, growing south-south-west from here mostly in the tablelands regions, including the southern highlands, through the ACT and into Victoria, from as far west as Albury, extending further east.

It is found in heathland as well as dry sclerophyll woodland and forest on the upper slopes and ranges, usually on sandstone and derived sandstone soils, often hanging over rocks.

The branchlets are hairy between leaves and have glandular-warty protrusions.

Cyanothamnus spp. produce opposite leaves which can be simple or compound (sometimes on the same plant) and are usually aromatic (sometimes strongly-so).
In this species, leaves appear simple (or uni-foliolate) linear to elliptic, to 25 mm long and 2 mm wide, with an acute apex.

Cyanothamnus have complete flowers (bisexual and with all whorls present). The flowers are produced either solitarily or in groups, in the leaf axils, or, at the branch terminals. There are usually four sepals, four petals and generally eight stamens, surrounding one female part (carpel). Flowers are often pink to purple, which makes them easily identifiable in NSW bushland.
In this species, flowers are white to pale-pink, produced solitarily in leaf axils, occurring October–January.

The fruit of Cyanothamnus are described as a schizocarp-capsule; a capsule that splits into even segments, which each segment called a coccus. The cocci are approximately 2 mm long.
