It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.[1][2]
Franklandia fucifolia is a small shrub, which has a fire-tolerant rootstock, and has no surface covering except for the fruit.[5] The leaves are alternate, and divided into erect, terete lobes with prominent glands.[5] The inflorescence is a terminal, few-flowered raceme.[5] The perianth is tubular and has four horizontal lobes.[5] The stamens are inserted at the top of the tube.[5] The ovary is sessile, with one ovule.[5] The fruit is a narrow nut,[5] topped with a rounded-triangular concave plate (5–6 mm wide) and hairy on the outside.[4]
It is widespread in south-western Western Australia, being found from William Bay to Israelite Bay, extending inland to Kojonup and growing on sand in kwongan, and open woodland.[4]
