Lechenaultia juncea, commonly known as scarlet leschenaultia,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Goodeniaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is an open, ascending shrub with narrow, crowded, rather fleshy leaves, and scarlet to orange-red flowers.

Lechenaultia juncea is an open, ascending shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about 70 cm (28 in), with many branches and that often suckers.

[2][3] Lechenaultia laricina was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.

[6] Scarlet leschenaultia usually grows in sandy soils in woodland between Meckering, Clackline and Kukerin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
