Baeckea staminosa

Baeckea staminosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is a spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 25 cm (9.8 in) and is found in wetlands in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region.

[2] The species was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected near the Greenough River.

[3][4] The specific epithet (staminosa) means "abounding in stamens".

[5] Baeckea staminosa is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
