Baeckea staminosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 25 cm (9.8 in) and is found in wetlands in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region.[2]

The species was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected near the Greenough River.[3][4] The specific epithet (staminosa) means "abounding in stamens".[5]

Baeckea staminosa is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]
