Pimelea venosa

Pimelea venosa, commonly known as Bolivia Hill rice-flower,[2] is a flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of New South Wales.

Pimelea venosa is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) with its stems and leaves densely covered with long, soft, whitish hairs.

[2][3][4] Pimelea venosa was first formally described in 1983 by S. Threlfall in the journal Brunonia, from a specimen collected by Ernst Betche near Bolivia in 1886.

[2][3][4] This rice-flower is listed as "endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

The main threats to the species include habitat disturbance, browsing by feral goats, inappropriate fire regimes and its restricted distribution.
