Baeckea latens
Austrobaeckea latens is a small, upright, spreading shrub from southern Western Australia, growing in mallee country and winter-wet places. It is a rare choice for home gardens and is mainly known from native-plant collections, so it needs well-drained soil and full sun.
Austrobaeckea latens is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is an upright, spreading shrub with erect, linear leaves and small white flowers with three to ten stamens.
Austrobaeckea latens grows in a range of habitats with mallees, on undulating plains and hills and in winter-wet places from near Kukerin to the Cape Arid National Park in the Esperance Plains and Mallee biogeographic regions of southern Western Australia.
