Hemigenia teretiuscula is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is an upright, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–80 cm (3.9–31.5 in), the leaves about 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter, more or less tapering cylindrical and somewhat sharply pointed. Flowering usually occurs from August to December and the flowers are bluish-purple.[2][3]
This species was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by George Maxwell.[4][3] The specific epithet (teretiuscula) means "somewhat terete".[5]
Hemigenia teretiuscula grows in gravelly or rocky soils or yellow sand in the Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia. It is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
