Verticordia mirabilis

Verticordia mirabilis is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to a small area in the Gibson Desert.

It is a bushy, spreading shrub with its leaves mostly crowded on short side branches and with large, deep red flowers in small groups in spring.

Its leaves are crowded on short side-branches, linear in shape, triangular or almost circular in cross-section, 3–6.5 mm (0.1–0.3 in) long and have small, irregular teeth near the tips.

[2] Verticordia mirabilis was first formally described by Elizabeth and Alex George in 2001 from specimen collected near Warburton and the description was published in Nuytsia.

[5] Verticordia mirabilis is classified as "Priority One" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[5] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
