Mitrasacme polymorpha is a common perennial herb found in eastern and southern

heathland, though also found at higher altitudes.[1]

It grows to 15 cm tall, leaves 4 to 15 mm long, 1 to 6 mm wide. Four petaled white flowers form in spring to summer, on umbels at the end of the hairy branches. The fruiting capsule is 2 to 3 mm in diameter.[2]
