Taxandria spathulata is a shrub species that grows along the southern coast of Western Australia.[1] This plant was previously classified as Agonis spathulata but is now part of the Taxandria genus.
The shrub has a spindly, erect to spreading and procumbent form, typically growing to a height of 2 metres (7 ft).[1] The leaves are typically 3 to 7 millimetres (0.12 to 0.28 in) in length.[2] It blooms between September and October producing small white petal flowers[1] with a diameter of approximately 1 cm (0.39 in) that appear in dense cluster of about 20 flowers. Each flower contains about 10 stamens, one opposite each sepal and petal.[2]
