Darwinia peduncularis is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.
The shrub has a broadly spreading habit typically growing to a height of 1.5 metres (5 ft). It has glabrous, spreading leaves that are laterally compressed to a length of 7 to 12 millimetres (0.28 to 0.47 in). Flowers usually occur in pairs with peduncles that are 4 to 7 mm (0.16 to 0.28 in) long, that are usually curved downwards. The bracts are leaf-like or triangular in shape.[1]
It flowers in later winter to early spring between July and September.
Often found on sandstone hillsides and ridges in dry sclerophyll forest in eastern New South Wales between Hornsby and the Hawkesbury River.[2]
