Gunniopsis propinqua is a succulent plant in the iceplant family, Aizoaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia.[1]
The prostrate annual or perennial herb typically grows to a height of 0.03 to 0.1 metres (0.1 to 0.3 ft). It blooms between August and September producing white to pink flowers.[1]
It is found among lateritic outcrops and winter wet area with scattered distribution in the Mid West, Goldfields-Esperance and Pilbara regions of Western Australia where it grows in stony, sandy or loamy soils.[1]
The species was first formally described by Robert Chinnock in 1983 in the article The Australian genus Gunniopsis Pax (Aizoaceae) in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.[2]
