This delightful tiny plant only grows a few centimetres high.

Flowering occurs from September through to November. 

Its only threat seems to be overgrown by larger plants which, of course, are many. It tends to be found on soils which do not carry a full cover of vegetation. However, providing the right sequence of events occur, it will grow nearly anywhere.

Management of centrolepis is ensuring that those events occur so it does not disappear.
