Pimelea argentea

Pimelea argentea is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1.8 m (1 ft 4 in – 5 ft 11 in) and has densely hairy young stems and leaves. The leaves are pale green or silvery, linear to more or less elliptic, 4–47 mm (0.16–1.85 in) long and 2–10 mm (0.079–0.394 in) wide and usually sessile. Male and female flowers are white to yellow or greenish, and borne on separate plants. Male flowers have a floral tube 3.0–5.5 mm (0.12–0.22 in) long, the sepals hairy on the outside and 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) long, the stamens about the same length as the sepals. The floral tube of female flowers is 2.5–5.0 mm (0.098–0.197 in) long, the sepals 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long and hairy on the outside, the style 0.5–2 mm (0.020–0.079 in) long and protruding.

Silvery leaved pimelea mostly grows in sand and is found on coastal dunes and in rocky granite areas from the Murchison River to Israelite Bay and inland as far as Hyden.
