Commersonia erythrogyna (Trigwell's rulingia) is a rare, straggly shrub from south-west Western Australia, known from very few wild plants. It is seldom grown in gardens, so care advice is general and based on related Commersonia and Malvaceae shrubs.
Commersonia erythrogyna, commonly known as Trigwell's rulingia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to a restricted part of the south-west of Western Australia. It is an open, straggly shrub with oblong to egg-shaped leaves and creamy-white flowers.
Trigwell's rulingia grows in low, open jarrah and marri woodland in a single wild population of 2 mature plants on private farmland, but in 2003, five translocation sites, also on private property, have been established.
