Darwinia wittwerorum
Wittwer's mountain bell is a small erect shrub from the Stirling Range in south-west Western Australia, known for hanging clusters of cream and pink bracts that surround its flowers. It is a rare species known from only a few populations, so it is mainly of interest to specialist and conservation growers.
Darwinia wittwerorum, commonly known as Wittwer's mountain bell, is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to a small area in Western Australia. An erect, spindly shrub with fine leaves and hanging groups of flowers surrounded by leaf-like bracts, it is one of the darwinias known as mountain bells.
This darwinia is currently only known from eight populations in the lower part of the Stirling Range in the Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest biogeographic regions, where it grows in open mallee over scrub.
