Lasiopetalum bracteatum

Lasiopetalum bracteatum is an erect, spreading shrub typically 60–150 cm (24–59 in) high and 40–100 cm (16–39 in) wide, its young stems covered with star-shaped hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped, the edges curved downwards, mostly 19–45 mm (0.75–1.77 in) long and 11–30 mm (0.43–1.18 in) wide on a petiole 6–13 mm (0.24–0.51 in) long. The surfaces of the leaves are sparsely to densely covered with star-shaped hairs. The flowers are arranged in loose groups of 8 to 22 46–80 mm (1.8–3.1 in) long, the peduncle hairy and 10–37 mm (0.39–1.46 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 4.1–7.0 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long with an elliptic bract 2.3–7.2 mm (0.091–0.283 in) long at the base. The sepals are bright pink to mauve-pink with a dark red base, 4.8–8.3 mm (0.19–0.33 in) long with lobes 3.7–7.1 mm (0.15–0.28 in) long and the five petals are about 1 mm (0.039 in) long and glabrous. Flowering occurs from August to November and the fruit is an elliptic capsule 4.1–4.5 mm (0.16–0.18 in) long.

This lasiopetalum grows near creeks and drainage lines and near granite outcrops in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.
