The leaves are narrowly oblong, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, on a petiole about Шаблон:Cvt long with stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The edges of the leaves are turned down or rolled under, sometimes concealing the hairy white lower surface. The flowers are borne in spike-like clusters of 2 to 5, sometimes up to 10, on the ends of branchlets. The flowers are surrounded by about 10 broadly egg-shaped to oblong bracts. The floral tube is about Шаблон:Cvt long, the sepals Шаблон:Cvt long and densely hairy. Flowering occurs from July to September.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Cryptandra exserta was first formally described in 2007 by Barbara Lynette Rye in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected north of Norseman in 2001.[1][3] The specific epithet (exserta ) means "protruding", referring to the flowers' protruding from the bracts.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This cryptandra mainly grows on plains in the Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions of inland Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

This cryptandra is listed as "Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is in danger of extinction.[4]
