Verticordia ovalifolia, commonly known as oval-leaved featherflower,[2] is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
The sepals are green, 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long with ten to thirteen cream to pink, feathery lobes and two small, ear-like, hairy appendages.
The petals are cream to reddish or purplish, erect, 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long, oblong to wedge-shaped and strap-like with a deeply divided outer edge.
[2] Verticordia ovalifolia was first formally described by Carl Meisner in 1857 from a specimen collected by James Drummond and the description was published in Journal of the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, Botany.
[6] Oval-leaved featherflower is described as "a beautiful, attractively foliaged shrub" which has been grown in gardens and in pots in a range of well-drained soils.
