Oreostylidium subulatum is a very small, cæspitose, and densely tufted plant about 2–3 cm tall. The 2 cm long linear-subulate leaves form a basal rosette close to the ground. The leaves are glabrous with entire margins. The scape, arising from the rosette of leaves, is slender, erect, and about 2 cm tall.
|

|
The blue-green leaves are scale like, four-ranked and lanceolate to subulate. It can be distinguished from similar species by annual constrictions along these branches. Ground cedar prefers dry and sandy areas with poor soils, this allows it to grow in barrens and other xeric sites. It can tolerate sterile acidic soils which are often found within coniferous forests.
|
|
The species also have erect and ovate ovary which is long and is reddish-purple in color. Stigma is also erect and dark purple in color but is subulate and fleshy unlike the ovary. The flower is sessile, of a maroon color fading to brown with narrow lanceolate petals. It emits a smell of rotting meat to attract insect pollinators, hence the name.

Piggyback dominating a habitat in Stewarton, Scotland. Tolmiea menziesii has hairy, five to seven-lobed, toothed leaves and a capsule fruit containing spiny seeds It bears many small flowers in a loose raceme.

The bushy erect pungent shrub typically grows to a height of with branchlets that are ribbed, glabrous or sparsely appressed-puberulous with straight hairs. Stipules are present only on young fresh shoots. The trunk and branches have smooth green or brown bark. The leathery leaves have phyllodes or are sessile, patent to ascending, inequilateral basally, subulate-linear, elliptic in shape and straight to recurved.
|
|
The fruits are up to in diameter, and weigh about . The greenish- to orange-yellow outside is densely covered with long () and thin angular-subulate spines which are straight or slightly curved, and prickly yet slightly soft. The fruit easily breaks into five fibrous-coriaceous valves (sections) with thick walls. Typically the fruit opens on the tree, but some varieties do not until they are on the ground or harvested.
|
|
The inflorescence or single flower clusters rise above the main plant body on naked stalks. The small actinomorphic hermaphrodite flowers have five petals and sepals and are usually white, but red to yellow in some species. Stamens, usually 10, rarely 8, insert at the junction of the floral tube and ovary wall, with filaments subulate or clavate. As in other primitive eudicots, some of the 5 or 10 stamens may appear petal-like.
|
|
The species is heterostylous, meaning that a few distinct flower morphs (forms) are available, though each plant bears only one morph. In late winter and early spring it produces an abundance of reddish-pink flower buds, followed by fragrant five-petalled starry white flowers which are about 2 cm in diameter. The bracts are subulate (tapering to a point), 1-6 mm. Each flower is carried by a pedicel (single stalk) of 0.5 - 2.5 cm.

The cheilocystidia (cystidia on the edge of a gill) may be spindle-, club-, or awl-shaped (subulate), or intermediate in between these forms, and measure 27–60 by 5–7 µm. Additionally, there are cystidia present on both the surface of the cap and the stem. If a drop of ferric sulphate (used as a chemical test in mushroom identification) is applied to the mushroom flesh, it will immediately stain dark bluish-green.Bessette et al.

Melaleuca subulata was first named in 2006 by Lyndley Craven in Novon when Callistemon subulatus was transferred to the present genus. Callistemon subulatus was first formally described by botanist Edwin Cheel in 1925 in Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales Series. The specific epithet (subulata) refers to the subulate shape of the leaves. Callistemon subulatus is regarded as a synonym of Melaleuca subulata by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

The cones are very large, 16–50 cm long and 9–11 cm broad, and have scales with a very characteristic prolonged and often recurved or S-shaped apex. The seeds are large, and with a very short wing; they are dispersed mainly by birds, particularly the Mexican jay.

It typically grows to a height in height and has glabrous to sparsely haired branchlets with subulate stipules that around high. Like most Acacias it has phyllodes instead of true leaves, the rigid, terete phyllodes that are in length and wide. The globular yellow flowerheads with a diameter of and containing 12 to 30 flowers appear singly in the leaf axils from August to November. Following flowering curved flat, seed pods form that are long and wide.

It has hypogynous scales which are 1mm in length and oval-oblong in shape. The style is long, broadened and very much compressed (flat) for about 6.4mm from the base, and after this portion becoming very constricted, subulate and bending strongly -this slender portion is glabrous and arches inward, but with an oblique angle, thus not towards the centre of the flower head but aiming somewhat behind the centre. The stigma is 3.5mm long and has an obtuse (blunt) end.

S. bombiviridis belongs to a clade that is morphologically distinct from other swimming acrocirrids by their transparent bodies, and single medial subulate branchiae. The acrocirridae are closely related to the flabelligeridae, a sister groups of worms While species of Swima live in the ocean sediment, others remain suspended up to 444 meters above the sea floor. S. Bombiviridis is further characterized by a gelatinous sheath and elliptical branchiae that it uses to drop 1mm long bioluminescent ‘bombs’ that luminesce for several seconds. They can grow over 30mm in length and 5 mm in width, making them relatively large in comparison to other worms of the acrocirrid family.
