Pimelea aquilonia is a perennial shrub from far north Queensland, usually 0.7 to 3 m tall, with white or cream tube-shaped flowers borne in small clusters from May to July. It grows naturally in windswept near-coastal shrubland, so it needs full sun and good drainage.
Pimelea aquilonia is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to far north Queensland. It is a shrub with narrowly elliptic leaves and small clusters of hairy, white or cream-coloured, tube-shaped flowers.
This pimelea mainly grows in windswept, near-coastal shrubland, from the tip of Cape York Peninsula to 200 km (120 mi) further south, and possibly as far south as Mount Pieter Botte.
