Hemiandra pungens, commonly known as snakebush, is a shrub or trailing plant that is endemic to south-west Western Australia.[2] Ranging in height from 5 cm to 100 cm, it occurs on rock outcrops.[2] The spotted flowers may be white, pink or bluish-purple and appear throughout the year.[2]
The species was formally described in 1810 by Scottish botanist Robert Brown[3]
The widely cultivated variety known as Hemiandra pungens var. glabra is currently classified under the species name Hemiandra glabra[4][5] and considered a mere synonym of the nominal species.[6]
