[2] Verticordia fastigiata, commonly known as mouse featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It is a prostrate or low shrub with small, club-shaped leaves and mouse-scented flowers which vary in colour from golden-yellow and orange to dark red.
The petals are about 1 mm (0.04 in) long, broad egg-shaped with a finely toothed margin, shiny yellow to dark red.
[1][4] The specific epithet (fastigiata) is derived from a Latin word meaning "having parallel, upright branches",[5] referring to the habit of this species.
[3] It occurs in southern areas of the state between Ongerup and Cape Riche in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions.
