Pityrodia augustensis, commonly known as Mount Augustus foxglove,[2] is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to a small area in Western Australia.
It is a small, bushy shrub with its branches, leaves and some of its flower parts densely covered with woolly hairs.
The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along the branches and are 3–6 cm (1–2 in) long, 6–15 mm (0.2–0.6 in) wide, narrow elliptic in shape and wedge-shaped at both ends.
The sepals are a deep purple-lilac colour, mostly woolly-hairy and are 9–12 mm (0.4–0.5 in) long forming a short tube near their base.
[3] Pityrodia augustensis was first formally described in 1979 by Ahmad Abid Munir from a specimen collected on the northern slopes of Mount Augustus, and the description was published in Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
