Kuntze Pimelea haematostachya, commonly known as pimelea poppy,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to Queensland.
Pimelea haematostachya is a perennial herb that usually grows to a height of 0.2–1 m (7.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in) but has a woody base.
The flowers are red with a yellow base, the floral tube 10.5–13 mm (0.41–0.51 in) long and later shed above the ovary.
[2] Pimelea haematostachya was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected near the Burnett River.
[2] Pimelea haematostachya is listed as "least concern" under the Queensland Government Nature Conservation Act 1992.
