Babingtonia camphorosmae, commonly known as camphor myrtle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.
Babingtonia camphorosmae is a prostrate or low-growing shrub that typically grows to 10–40 cm (3.9–15.7 in) high and 0.4–1.5 m (1 ft 4 in – 4 ft 11 in) wide with prominent glands on its young stems.
There are ten to thirteen stamens arranged opposite the sepals.
[2][3][4] This species was first formally described in 1837 by Stephan Endlicher, who gave it the name Baeckea camphorosmae in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel from specimens collected near King George Sound.
[8] Babingtonia camphorosmae mostly grows in woodland and forest in a range of soils, and is found between Dandaragan, Dunsborough, the Whicher Range and Mount Barker in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
