Lasiopetalum glutinosum

Lasiopetalum glutinosum is a spreading, multi-stemmed, sticky shrub that typically grows to 0.2–1 m (7.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in) high and 0.2–1.5 mm (0.0079–0.0591 in) wide, its young stems covered with white and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped, often with three lobes, mostly 10–53 mm (0.39–2.09 in) long and 3–44 mm (0.12–1.73 in) wide on a petiole 4.0–6.5 mm (0.16–0.26 in) long. Both surfaces of the leaves are covered with white and rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in loose groups of two to twelve 38–111 mm (1.5–4.4 in) long, on a peduncle 22–49 mm (0.87–1.93 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 4.5–9 mm (0.18–0.35 in) long with narrowly egg-shaped to elliptic bracts 2.5–5.8 mm (0.098–0.228 in) long at the base and similar bracteoles 3.3–9 mm (0.13–0.35 in) long near the base of the sepals. The sepals are bright pink or dark red, the lobes egg-shaped and 4.3–8.5 mm (0.17–0.33 in) long and there are no petals. The anthers are dark red with a white tip and 3.5–5.8 mm (0.14–0.23 in) long. Flowering occurs from September to December.

This lasiopetalum grows in open woodland and low scrub, subspecies glutinosum mostly on the Darling Scarp near Perth in the Avon Wheatbelt, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions and subspecies latifolium between Badgingarra and Boddington in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions.
