Verticordia staminosa

Verticordia staminosa is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

[1]Verticordia staminosa was first formally described by Charles Gardner and Alex George in 1963 from a specimen collected near Wongan Hills by Harry Butler and the description was published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia.

[3] George described three forms of this species: Verticordia staminosa grows in soil in crevices on exposed granite outcrops.

Relatively large numbers of seedling establish each year and its rarity is thought to be a result of climate change and increased frequency of fire.

[10] All three forms of V. staminosa are classified as "Threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[7][8][9] meaning that they are in danger of extinction.
