Philotheca coccinea

Eriostemon coccineus C.A.Gardner Philotheca coccinea is a species of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to Western Australia.

It is a shrub with club-shaped leaves that are warty on the lower surface, and red to pink flowers arranged singly in leaf axils.

The five petals are red to pink, rarely white, about 8 mm (0.31 in) long and joined in their lower half.

The description was published in Hooker's Icones Plantarum from specimens collected by William Blackall west of Coolgardie in 1931.

[5][6] Philotheca coccinea grows in shrubland on rocky ridges and hillsides and on undulating plains from Southern Cross to Norseman.
