Widespread and rather common on dryish, usually sandy ground in open and lightly forested positions, but rare in Snowfields (e.g. Bryces Gorge, upper Buffalo River), Murray Mallee and Wimmera.

Specimens intermediate between this and var. pilulifer occur, mainly in western Victoria (within the range of var. pilulifer). Intergrades between R. sessiliflorus and R. pumilio are known where the two species occur together.
