Prostanthera conniana is an erect, open shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5–3.5 m (4 ft 11 in – 11 ft 6 in) with four-sided branchlets. Its leaves are narrow egg-shaped to narrow oblong, 16–24 mm (0.63–0.94 in) long and 3.5–6.5 mm (0.14–0.26 in) wide on a petiole 1.5–3.5 mm (0.059–0.138 in) long, and with glands on both sides. The flowers are arranged in groups of four to eight, the sepals green, sometimes with a maroon tinge. The petals are 11–16 mm (0.43–0.63 in) long and white, sometimes with a pale mauve tinge and there are bright yellow marking on the throat of the petal tube. Flowering occurs from November to December.[2][3]
Prostanthera conniana was first formally described in 2015 by Trevor C. Wilson and others in the journal Telopea.[3][4] The specific epithet (conniana) honours Barry Conn and his wife Helen.[3]
This mint bush grows on steep rocky slopes in low, open scrub or woodland in four sites near the Shoalhaven River in Bungonia National Park.[2][3]
