Lysiosepalum abollatum, also known as woolly lysiosepalum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, dense shrub covered with white, woolly hairs, and has narrowly egg-shaped leaves and pink, blue or purple flowers usually in groups of four or five.
Woolly lysiosepalum has a very restricted natural range; they are found only in the Wongan Hills area of the Avon Wheatbelt IBRA bioregion, some 180 km north-east of Perth, in south-west Western Australia. They grow in open mallee-heath on orange-brown, sandy clay, lateritic soils on the lower slopes and at the bases of hills. Associated vegetation includes Eucalyptus ebbanoensis, Acacia pharangites and A. congesta over an understorey of Halgania, Allocasuarina, Leptospermum and Hibbertia species.
