Commersonia magniflora is an erect, downy shrub of arid Australia, growing 1 to 3 m high and wide, with deep pink sepals and cream petals. It is grown mainly as a drought-tolerant garden shrub in dry, free-draining sites.
Commersonia magniflora is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and endemic to Australia. It is an erect shrub with wrinkled, narrowly oblong to elliptic or egg-shaped leaves, and deep pink flowers.
Commersonia magniflora occurs in two disjunct populations. It grows in rocky outcrops, gorges along creeks from Ormiston Gorge and Kings Canyon in the Northern Territory to the north-west corner of South Australia. A second population grows in open woodland and shrubland between Coolgardie and Cunderdin in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Mallee and Murchison bioregions of Western Australia.
