Baeckea exserta is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1 m (1 ft 4 in–3 ft 3 in) and blooms between August and November producing pink and white flowers.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1920 by Spencer Le Marchant Moore in the Journal of the Linnean Society, Botany from specimens collected by Frederick Stoward near Bruce Rock.[3][4] The specific epithet (exserta) means "protruding", referring to the stamens.[5]
This baeckea grows in sandy clay in the Avon Wheatbelt bioregion in the south-west of Western Australia. It is listed as "Priority Three" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.[6]
