}}Petrophile linearis, commonly known as pixie mops, is a species of shrub in the plant genus Petrophile. It is endemic to south-west Western Australia and produces soft, pink flowers, between August and December.[1]

Description

Taxonomy

This species was first published by Robert Brown in his 1830 Supplementum primum Prodromi florae Novae Hollandiae, based on specimens collected from the vicinity of the Swan River (Western Australia) by Charles Fraser during the Stirling expedition of 1827.[2]
