Pimelea neokyrea is a low, spreading native shrub from south-western Western Australia, growing 30 to 90 cm tall with white or pale yellow flowers in August to October. It is a wild species of mallee heath and jarrah forest, rarely grown in gardens, so care is mainly about matching its dry, sandy native conditions.
Pimelea neokyrea is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a low, spreading shrub with narrowly egg-shaped to narrowly ellipic leaves and erect clusters of white or pale yellow flowers surrounded by egg-shaped involucral bracts. It was previously included in Pimelea avonensis.
This pimelea grows on hillslopes in mallee heath, often with jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata) in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
