Thryptomene velutina is a shrub species in the family Myrtaceae that is endemic to Western Australia.[1]
The shrub is found in the Mid West region of Western Australia between Geraldton and the Chapman Valley.[1]
Etymology
The specific epithet, velutina, is from the Latin adjective, velutinus, -a, -um, ("velvety"), and refers to the flower's velvety hypanthium, which distinguishes it from other Thryptomene species.[2]
