Dentella minutissima, common name tiny teeth,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rubiaceae and was first described in 1922 by Cyril Tenison White & William Douglas Francis, from a specimen collected near Winton.[2][3]
It is found growing on sand and grey clay on river banks and in creek beds.[1] "(Plants) often grow in concentric belts or rings parallel to the receding waterline as they colonise newly exposed mudflats".[4]
Plants of the world online lists it as being found in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland,[5] but PlantNET describes it as also being found in New South Wales, in the Nocoleche Nature Reserve and the Cuttaburra Creek system north west of Bourke, and in South Australia.[1]
In New South Wales it is listed as an endangered species,[1][4] but in Queensland it is listed as being of "least concern".[6]
