Lechenaultia divaricata

Lechenaultia divaricata, commonly known as tangled leschenaultia, wirenetting bush or wirebush,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to arid and semi-arid areas of central Australia.

Lechenaultia divaricata is an erect subshrub that typically grows to a height of up to 100 cm (39 in) and has many spreading branches and glabrous foliage.

Flowering occurs sporadically throughout the year and the fruit is a cylindrical capsule 9–32 mm (0.35–1.26 in) long.

[3][4][5][6] Lechenaultia divaricata was first formally described in 1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected near Coopers Creek.

[9] Tangled leschenaultia grows in sand, often on sand dunes in mulga scrub and woodland in arid and semi-arid areas of inland South Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.
