Flowers are required to confirm the identification of this straggling perennial herb, with detection very difficult in their absence. Flowering occurs from late September to early December, peaking in late October and early November.
Tetratheca gunnii is restricted to serpentine outcrops in the foothills of the Dazzler Range near Beaconsfield, where it occurs in relatively open areas dominated by black peppermint (Eucalyptus amygdalina) and black gum (Eucalyptus ovata) over a heathy understorey, or in Allocasuarina littoralis woodland with a sparse understorey. Some sites are associated with disturbance induced openness from mining and wood harvesting activities.
