Description
Androcalva incilis is a prostrate shrub that typically grows to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide, and forms suckers. Its new growth is covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are narrowly wedge-shaped to narrowly oblong, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long with sometimes divided stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The leaves are dark green with irregular serrations on the edges, both surfaces covered with white, star-shaped hairs, densely so on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in crowded heads of 8 to 12 on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long, with narrowly egg-shaped bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The flowers are Шаблон:Cvt wide with 5 deep pink petal-like sepals and 5 petals, the ligule almost as long as the sepals with wings that partly envelop the stamens. There is usually a single staminode between each pair of stamens. Flowering occurs from July to October.[1]

Distribution and habitat
This species mainly grows in heath and woodland between Tarin Rock, Dragon Rocks and Kukerin in the Avon Wheatbelt and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[1][4]
Conservation status
Androcalva incilis is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[4]
