Leafy, compact, low shrub, 15cm high by 30cm wide, with very
small white everlasting flowerheads with yellow discs. As the shrub matures
it develops woody basal stems. Leaves 1.5-4mm long by 0.75mm wide,
alternate, sessile, recurved, apex obtuse. Upper surfaces of leaves
glabrous, lower surface tomentose, flowering stem 5-7cm long, flowerhead
10-15mm across. The rays are fringed. Flowerheads are solitary and
terminal. Flowering period is spring followed by a brief second period of
blooms in January when flowerheads are smaller. Outer involucral bracts are
tan in colour.

This cultivar has all the characteristics of the usual forms of
C. baxteri but is distinguished by the diminutive size of all the
characters of the plant - leaves, rays, flowerhead and fruit.
