Lasiopetalum macrophyllum, commonly known as shrubby velvet bush, is a common shrub of the mallow family found in eastern Australia.[1] Growing up to a metre tall, much of the plant is covered in rusty hairs. It is found in forest, woodland and heathland.

It was first described by Scottish botanist Robert Graham in 1841.[2] Its species name is derived from the Latin "large-leaved".[3]

Lasiopetalum macrophyllum is an (often untidy) erect to spreading shrub to {{convert|2|m|ft|abbr=on}} high and {{convert|4|m|ft|abbr=on}} wide. The new growth is prominently covered with red-brown hair. The leaves are oblong, lanceolate or cordate (heart-shaped) and measure {{convert|5|–|12|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} long by {{convert|1|–|4|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} wide.[1] They are either smooth or sparsely covered with fine hairs and have prominent veins on both sides; the veins are raised and rust-coloured on the leaf underside.[3] Flowering occurs August to December. The few-flowered cymes are densely covered with hair, and the calyces are rust-coloured and hairy on the outside and cream and smooth inside.[3] The hairless inside of the flowers distinguishes it from Lasiopetalum ferrugineum.[4]

The range is from central New South Wales into Victoria and Tasmania,[1] as well as islands in Bass Strait.[3] It is found in sclerophyll forest and heathland. It is often a spreading shrub in more exposed areas and taller in sheltered areas and gullies.[3] It grows on sandy soils.[5]

Lasiopetalum macrophyllum was introduced to cultivation in England in 1835. Its flushes of rust-coloured new growth have some ornamental appeal, and it grows fairly readily in part-shade in the garden, and is propagated by seed or cutting. Forms with more attractive new growth and prostrate habit have been selected for the garden. It grows in well-drained soils in sun or part shade and is frost tolerant.[3] It has also been classified as somewhat fire retardant.[6]
