This strange Australian perennial grows in dry places, in grass and woodlands throughout southern Australia. It produces a small, unspectacular rosette of smooth, fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that are dark green above and light-green below. Its inflorescences , however, are very distinctive, upright, densely furry, greenish-yellow and resemble giant pussy willow flowers.

Widespread and locally common in northern and western Victoria, and more rarely near Melbourne on the Keilor Plains and around Werribee.  Associated with loamy soils of swales and depressions in dune-mallee areas, and recently found on limestone near Omeo.

Best grown in full sun, and enjoys a well-draining, sandy soil mixture. It is also half hardy to -5C.
