Pimelea clavata

Pimelea clavata is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–5 m (3 ft 3 in – 16 ft 5 in) and has stems that are hairy near the flowers. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, narrowly elliptic to more or less linear, 6–43 mm (0.24–1.69 in) long and 1.5–9 mm (0.059–0.354 in) wide on a short petiole. The flowers are white to pale yellow, densely hairy, and borne in compact, head-like groups surrounded by two involucral bracts that are similar to the leaves but smaller, each flower on a densely hairy pedicel. The floral tube is 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long, the sepals 1.2–2.0 mm (0.047–0.079 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to February.

This pimelea grows on coastal dunes, in forest near watercourses or temporary lakes, and on limestone ciffs between Margaret River and Bald Island and on nearby offshore islands in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions of southern Western Australia.
