Verticordia mitchelliana, commonly known as rapier featherflower,[2] is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It is a shrub with bright red, rapier-like flowers in spring and early summer, which readily distinguish it from other species.
[2][3][4] Verticordia mitchelliana was first formally described by Charles Gardner in 1933 from a specimen collected near Bencubbin and the description was published in Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia.
It occurs in disjunct populations between Peak Charles and Kulja[2] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions.
[4][8][9] Subspecies mitchelliana is classified as "Priority Three" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[8] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.
