Eremaea fimbriata is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a small shrub with small leaves and single purple flowers on the ends of the branches. The fruits are woody, urn-shaped with a small opening at the top. Unlike other eremaeas which remain dormant during winter, Eremaea fimbriata begins the new year's growth in July or August.

Description

Eremaea fimbriata is a shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|1.0|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. The leaves are narrow egg-shaped, tapering to a point and are {{convert|4-8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|0.5-4|mm|in|sigfig=2}} wide and have one or sometimes 3 veins visible on the lower surface. There are a few long, soft hairs on the upper surface and the lower surface is densely covered with short, fine hairs.[1][2]

The flowers are pink to deep pink and are borne singly on the ends of long branches which grew in the previous year. The flowers are {{convert|10-20|mm|in|sigfig=1}} across and have are 5 sepals which are densely hairy on the outside surface and have a short tuft of hairs on the top. There 5 petals, {{convert|2.8-4.6|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long. The stamens are about {{convert|8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long are arranged in 5 bundles, each containing 13 to 18 stamens. Flowering occurs from July to September and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules. The capsules are {{convert|8.6-11|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, smooth and urn-shaped to almost spherical with a small opening.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Eremaea fimbriata was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[3][4] The specific epithet (fimbriata) is from the Latin fimbriatus meaning "fringed".[5]

Distribution and habitat

Eremaea fimbriata occurs in near-coastal areas of the Irwin and Darling districts in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.[6] It grows in sandy soils, often with lateritic gravel.

Conservation

Eremaea fimbriata is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[6]
