Flowering plants are required to confirm the identity and aid detection of this relatively short-lived (up to 3 to 5 years) perennial herb. Euphrasia gibbsiae subsp. psilantherea is reliant on recruitment from seed in gaps in the vegetation. The species has two main flowering seasons in September/October and March/April, with plants easier to detect in autumn due to the reduced presence of other plants with predominately white flowers open at this time.
Euphrasia gibbsiae subsp. psilantherea occurs amongst low sedges in open wet coastal sedgeland/heathland that is frequently waterlogged in winter. Its habitat is associated with gaps created by fire, seasonal inundation and/or disturbance.
