Guichenotia basiviridis

Guichenotia basiviridis is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high and 0.5–1 m (1 ft 8 in – 3 ft 3 in) wide, its new growth covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are linear, 5–15 mm (0.20–0.59 in) long and 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) wide on a petiole 0.5–2 mm (0.020–0.079 in) long. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, and both surfaces of the leaves are densely covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in groups of three to seven on a peduncle 5–13 mm (0.20–0.51 in) long, each flower on a curved pedicel 7 mm (0.28 in) long, with linear to narrowly elliptic bracts and bracteoles 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long at the base. There are five pink, petal-like sepals 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long, tiny, dark red petals and densely hairy staminodes. Flowering occurs from July to September and the fruit is a papery capsule about 3 mm (0.12 in) in diameter.

This species of guichenotia grows in open shrubland and open woodland between Kalbarri and Geraldton in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions in the west of Western Australia.
