Pimelea spiculigera is a small erect shrub from arid Western Australia, grown mainly as a hardy native garden or xeriscape plant. It needs full sun, very good drainage and little water once established.
Pimelea spiculigera is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with linear to narrowly egg-shaped leaves and heads of yellow or greenish-yellow flowers surrounded by 2 or 4 egg-shaped involucral bracts.
This pimelea grows on granite outcrops and laterite from near Mullewa to Cundeelee and Mount Beaumont (north of Cape Arid National Park), in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Mallee, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia. Variety spiculigera has a more limited distribution than var. thesioides, occurring from the Fraser Range (north-east of Dundas) to Mount Beaumont in the Coolgardie and Mallee bioregions.
