Guichenotia ledifolia

Guichenotia ledifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

The five pink to mauve, petal-like sepals are 6–14 mm (0.24–0.55 in) long and densely hairy, and there are tiny, deep red petals but no staminodes.

[2][3][4] Guichenotia ledifolia was formally described in 1821 by Swiss-French botanist Jaques Étienne Gay in the journal Mémoires du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle.

[7] Guichenotia ledifolia grows in heath, kwongan and woodland on coastal limestone, sandplains and granite rocks in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Hampton, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Yalgoo bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3][4] This species of guichenotia is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
