Conospermum capitatum is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.[1]
The erect non-lignotuberous shrub typically grows to a height of 0.15 to 0.5 metres (0.5 to 1.6 ft). It blooms between August and December producing cream-yellow and brown-red flowers.
It is found on hill slopes and winter-wet flat areas in the Wheatbelt, Peel, South West and Great Southern regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy, loamy and clay soils often over laterite.[1]
There are two subspecies:
