Lasiopetalum parvuliflorum is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of and has hairy stems. The leaves are long and wide. The flowers are borne on a pedicel long with bracteoles long below the base of the sepals. The sepals are petal-like, green or cream-coloured, long fused at their bases and hairy. The petals are long and glabrous, the anthers long on a filament long. Flowering occurs in September and October.[1]
Lasiopetalum parvuliflorum was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by James Drummond.[2] The specific epithet (parvuliflorum) means "very small-flowered".[3]
This lasiopetalum grows near creeks and in winter-wet areas in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic region of south-western Western Australia.[4]
Lasiopetalum parvuliflorum is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.[5]
