Pityrodia chrysocalyx

Pityrodia chrysocalyx is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Pityrodia chrysocalyx is an erect, bushy, compact shrub which grows to a height of 30–75 cm (10–30 in) with its branches densely covered with reddish yellow, circular scales.

[2][3][4] This species was first formally described in 1876 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Depremesnilia chrysocalyx and published the description in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.

[1] The specific epithet (chrysocalyx) is derived from Ancient Greek words meaning "gold" and "cup", (to give "golden-cupped")[7] referring to the colour of the sepal tube.

[4][9] Pityrodia chrysocalyx is classified as "Priority Three" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife,[4] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
