Calytrix sylvana

Calytrix sylvana is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and grows from the tips of the flowering stems. Its leaves are egg-shaped, elliptic or linear, 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) long, 0.5–1.25 mm (0.020–0.049 in) wide and sessile or on a petiole up to 0.4 mm (0.016 in) long, with no stipules. The flowers are arranged singly or in many scattered groups on a peduncle 2.5–3.25 mm (0.098–0.128 in) long with elliptic lobes 1.50–1.75 mm (0.059–0.069 in) long. The floral tube is more or less spindle-shaped, 2.5–3.5 mm (0.098–0.138 in) long and has ten ribs. The sepals are oblong, 0.20–0.25 mm (0.0079–0.0098 in) long and 0.3–0.4 mm (0.012–0.016 in) wide without awns. The petals are purple, purplish-mauve or pink and there are 20 to 25 stamens in two or three rows with white filaments that become reddish-purple later. Flowering occurs from August to October.

This species of Calytrix grows in open forest with Eucalyptus marginata and Eucalyptus wandoo woodland in lateritic or sandy soil in the New Norcia-Bindoon district in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
