Andersonia ferricola

Andersonia ferricola is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of the southwest of Western Australia.

The flowers are arranged in clusters of up to 30 in leaf axils, with narrowly egg-shaped, leaf-like bracteoles 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long.

[2][3] Andersonia ferricola was first formally described in 2007 by Kristina L. Lemson in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected in the Whicher Range area in 1993.

[2] This species of Andersonia grows in dense, low heath on winter-wet ironstone flats in a small area south-east of Busselton in the Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2] Andersonia ferricola is listed as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[3] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations where it is potentially at risk.
