Calytrix aurea is a species of shrub in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in 1839 in A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[2]
The species usually grows to between 0.2 and 1.3 metres in height.[2] The yellow flowers appear between October and January in its native range.[2]
It performs best in a sunny position and requires a well-drained situation, such as a built-up rockery.[3] Plants are readily propagated by cuttings.[3]
