Where it grows wild

Arid plains around salt lakes and gibber country, where Gunniopsis typically grows on saline or gypseous clay and sand flats with sparse cover. Species-level habitat detail is thin, so this is inferred from the record sites and the genus.

Low inland plains, about 60 to 165 m at the climate sites.
