With bonus mantid.
A Honey-myrtle endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, variable in size and form from a densely branched, small shrub to a small tree. It grows in sandy and clayey soils near watercourses, winter-wet depressions, rocky coastal areas, and flats. This one was growing in a waterside park, a few centimeters above the waterline at Australind, south of Perth, so probably counts as all of the above.
It has become naturalised in parts of southern Victoria.
