Pimelea decora

Pimelea decora, commonly known as Flinders poppy,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is native to central Queensland.

It is a woody perennial herb with egg-shaped or elliptic leaves and hairy, red and cream-coloured flowers.

The flowers are densely hairy, and red with a cream-coloured base, the floral tube 14–17 mm (0.55–0.67 in) long.

[2] Pimelea decora was first formally described in 1928 by Karel Domin in his Bibliotheca Botanica, from specimens he collected near Hughenden in 1910.

[4] Flinders poppy grows in grassland, often in rocky soil and is found in central Queensland, mainly south-east of Hughenden.
