Lasiopetalum ogilvieanum

Lasiopetalum ogilvieanum is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

[2][3] Lasiopetalum ogilvieanum was first formally described in 1881 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens he collected near the Greenough and Irwin Rivers.

[3][4] The specific epithet (ogilvieanum) honours Andrew J. Ogilvie, who accompanied Mueller on his expedition to Shark Bay.

[5] This lasiopetalum grows in heathy woodland from near Dongara to near Eneabba in the Avon Wheatbelt and Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][3] Lasiopetalum ogilvieanum is listed 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.
