Verticordia chrysanthella

Verticordia chrysanthella, commonly known as little chrysantha, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It is a shrub with cylinder-shaped leaves and small groups of lemon-yellow to gold-coloured flowers which fade to orange, red or brown.

[1] The flowers are usually scented, arranged in corymb-like groups on the ends of the branches, lemon-yellow or golden-yellow but ageing to orange, red or brown.

[2][3] The specific epithet (chrysanthella) is a reference to Verticordia chrysantha with the suffix "-ella" indicating a diminutive form of that species.

[1] George placed this species in subgenus Chrysoma, section Jugata along with V. chrysantha, V. brevifolia, V. galeata, V. coronata, V. amphigia and V.
