Xanthorrhoea brunonis is a species of grasstree of the genus Xanthorrhoea native to Western Australia.[1]
The perennial grass tree typically grows to a height of 1.5 metres (5 ft) usually with no trunk but with a scape of 0.35 to 1.5 metres (1.1 to 4.9 ft) and the flower spike to 0.1 to 0.3 metres (0 to 1 ft). It blooms between October and December producing white-cream flowers.[1] It has a tufted appearance with the leaves up to 80 centimetres (31 in) long. The non-flowering part of the stem is always longer than the flowering part. It can be differentiated from Xanthorrhoea preissii by its flower spike.[2]
