Hyalosperma (Asteraceae) 2:324
Hyalosperma demissum (formerly known  as Helipterum demissum) is a tiny, rare native herb found in very dry parts of Tasmania. It is hairless or with a few hairs, grows to about 3 cm tall, with very narrow leaves up to 6mm long. The individual flowers have a pappus of feathery bristles, but these fall off with age.
