Known in Victoria only from rocky banks of the Genoa River, near-riparian forest in the Tubbut-Bonang area, and steep rocky country near the Snowy and Reedy River gorges.
Resembles P. briagolensis, but distinguishable from these by the narrow inflorescence with small cymes, the coarser hairs on the leaf upper surface and the indumentum on the leaf lower surfaces including some simple hairs.
