Guichenotia glandulosa

Guichenotia glandulosa is a spreading, dwarf shrub that typically grows to high and wide, its new growth covered with a mixture of red glandular hairs and white, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are more or less linear, long and wide on a petiole long. The edges of the leaves are turned down, and both surfaces of the leaves are covered with white, star-shaped hairs, more densely so on the lower surface. The flowers are borne in groups of six or seven on a peduncle long, each flower on a pedicel long and covered with long, glandular hairs. There are egg-shaped bracts long and bracteoles about long at the base. The five pink, petal-like sepals are long and joined at their base, and there are tiny, deep red petals but no staminodes. Flowering occurs in August and September and the fruit is a papery capsule long. ==Taxonomy and naming==

Guichenotia glandulosa was first formally described in 2003 by Carolyn F. Wilkins in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected in Uberin Rock Reserve, south-east of Wongan Hills 2000. The specific epithet (glandulosa) means "gland-bearing", referring to the pedicels. ==Distribution and habitat==

This species of guichenotia grows in sedgeland and along creeklines near Wongan Hills in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion of south-western Western Australia. ==Conservation status==

Guichenotia glandulosa is listed as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, ==References==
