Darwinia polychroma, commonly known as harlequin bell, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It has linear leaves and drooping flowers surrounded by yellowish green, green and red bracts.
Harlequin bell grows in shrubland, and is confined to a few road and rail verges in the Carnamah area, in a range of about 10 kilometres (6 mi), although prior to 1929 it had a wider distribution. It is found amongst open low scrub or shrubland with Melaleuca species, Acacia ligulata, mallee (Eucalyptus species) and Exocarpos species growing in yellow loamy sand over laterite. Three populations occur on road or railway reserves, over a range of approximately 10 km (6.2 mi), with one on private property. The total populations is less than 200 plants.
