See text Verticordia plumosa, commonly known as plumed featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Two varieties of this species have been declared as being "threatened".Verticordia plumosa is usually an openly branched shrub which grows to a height of 1.4 m (5 ft).

The petals are a similar colour to the sepals, elliptic to egg-shaped, 2–4.5 mm (0.08–0.2 in) long and are initially spreading but later turn upwards.

The specific epithet (plumosa) is derived from the Latin word pluma meaning "feather",[7] referring to the feathery sepals.
