context_section_description: Zieria odorifera is an aromatic shrub which grows to a height of 1 m (3 ft) and has ridged, more or less glabrous branches. The leaves are composed of three elliptic to egg-shaped leaflets with the narrower end towards the base. The central leaflet is 5–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long and 2–3 mm (0.08–0.1 in) wide, the leaves with a petiole 0.5–2 mm (0.02–0.08 in) long. The leaflets are glabrous except when young and the upper surface is a darker green than the lower one. The flowers are pale to deep pink and are arranged in upper leaf axils in groups of three or more and the groups are mostly longer than the leaves. There are four triangular sepal lobes about 2 mm (0.08 in) long and four petals about 4 mm (0.2 in) long. The petals are covered with soft hairs on the outside but glabrous on the inner surface. In common with other zierias, there are only four stamens. Flowering occurs in spring.
