Zieria vagans Duretto & P.I.Forst.

Open shrub to 2 m high. Branchlets terete, with leaf bases not decurrent, markedly glandular-verrucose, stellate-tomentose. Leaves trifoliolate; petiole 5–13 mm long; central leaflet narrowly elliptic, 32–45 mm long, 3.5–5.5 mm wide, entire to glandular-dentate, almost flat, obtuse; midrib and some secondary veins raised abaxially; adaxial surface not glandular-verrucose, glabrous or with sparse simple and/or stellate hairs; abaxial surface glandular-verrucose, stellate-tomentose. Inflorescences shorter than leaves, 3–15-flowered. Sepals  0.8–1 mm long, not obviously glandular, glabrous adaxially except puberulous margins, with sparse to dense stellate and simple hairs abaxially, denser along margins. Petals valvate, c. 2 mm long, creamy white, not obviously glandular, minutely pilose adaxially, with moderately dense simple and stellate hairs abaxially. Filaments glabrous or with few simple or stellate hairs, weakly glandular-verrucose distally. Cocci smooth, glabrous.

Occurs in understorey of semi-evergreen vine thicket dominated by Backhousia kingii on red soils and in the ecotone between this community and adjacent eucalypt woodland.
