About

Enekbatus clavifolius is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.

The spreading shrub typically grows to a height of 1 metre (3 ft) and blooms between July and September producing pink-purple flowers. The species shares features with Enekbatus cryptandroides, both of which have to have ten stamens that are oppositely arranged to the sepals and petals. They also have tuberculate and usually often fruit containing many smooth seeds partly covered by an adherent scurfy layer.
