Pimelea sylvestris is an erect, glabrous shrub from south-western Western Australia, grown mainly for its compact heads of white or pink flowers. It is a native of woodland and forest, so it suits well-drained soil and a cool, mild climate.
Pimelea sylvestris is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with narrowly elliptic to elliptic leaves arranged in opposite pairs, and compact heads of white or pink flowers surrounded by 2 or 4 pairs of narrowly egg-shaped involucral bracts.
This pimelea grows in woodland and forest, sometimes in coastal scrub, and occurs between Jurien Bay and West Mount Barren in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
