Conospermum floribundum is a compact, erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to, sometimes up to . The leaves are spreading, narrowly linear and circular in cross-section, more or less S-shaped, long and wide with a groove along the underside. The flowers are borne in spike-like panicles in leaf axils with leaf-like bracts and D-shaped, blue bracteoles long and wide. The perianth is tube-shaped, long and white with a blue tip, the upper lip long and wide. Flowering occurs from September to November.[1] [2]
Conospermum floribundum was first formally described in 1870 by George Bentham in his Flora Australiensis from specimens collected near the Swan River by James Drummond.[3] The specific epithet (floribundum) means 'flowering profusely'.[4]
This species of Conospermum occurs between Albany and the Stirling Range and east to Bremer Bay where it grows in sandy gravelly soils in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of southern Western Australia.
