Astroloma acervatum The Western Australian Herbarium tells us: "Astroloma acervatum is a new species recently discerned as distinct from the widespread and common Astroloma pallidum. Whilst similar in possessing flowers mostly cream or very pale yellow, and elliptic to narrowly obovate-elliptic leaves, the new species can be distinguished from A. pallidum by possessing a fire-sensitive rootstock, a prostrate and mat-forming habit often becoming raised and mounded in the centre, but always tapering to a well-defined margin at soil level, a bright green appearance with mature leaf margins conspicuously pale and hyaline, and a shorter sepal mucro."
