Description

Zieria baeuerlenii is an open, spreading shrub which usually grows to a height of 0.8 m (3 ft) and has a velvety covering on its younger branches. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs and are composed of three leaflets with the central one heart-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 6–12 mm (0.2–0.5 in) long and 4–9 mm (0.2–0.4 in) wide with a stalk 1.5–2.5 mm (0.06–0.1 in) long. The other two leaflets are similar in shape but slightly smaller. Each leaflet has a velvety covering of hairs and has its edges rolled under.
