Pimelea longiflora

Pimelea longiflora is an erect, spindly shrub that typically grows to a height of and has densely hairy young stems. The leaves are linear to narrowly elliptic, long and wide on a short petiole. The flowers are arranged in erect clusters of many flowers on a peduncle long, surrounded by 4 to 6 egg-shaped or narrowly egg-shaped involucral bracts that are long and wide. Each flower is on a pedicel long, the floral tube long, and the sepals long. Flowering occurs from August to February. ==Taxonomy==

Pimelea longiflora was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his book Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen. The specific epithet (longiflora) means "long-flowered". ==Distribution and habitat==

This pimelea usually grows in swampy, winter-wet places in sand or sandy clay, mainly between Bunbury and Cape Riche, with a disjunct population in the Fitzgerald River National Park, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia. ==Conservation status==

Pimelea longiflora is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. ==References==
