Phlebocarya pilosissima is a plant in the Haemodoraceae family,[1] native to Western Australia.

[4] Leaf surfaces can be smooth to densely covered with sharp rigid bristly hairs (and on the margins).

[4] The flower heads vary from being about half as long to longer than the leaves.

[4] The plant was first described as Phlebocarya ciliata var pilosissima by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1873,[1][5] but later in 1873 George Bentham erected it to the species Phlebocarya pilosissima.

[1][2] The species epithet, pilosissima, comes from the Latin, pilus ("hair")[6] which gives the adjective, pilosus,[7] and its superlative, pilosissima,[6] thus describing the plant as being the "hairiest".
