Ptilotus pyramidatus
Pyramid mulla mulla is a small perennial herb from south-west Western Australia, growing about 8 cm tall with white and pink spike-like flowers. It is known from only one small population near Kenwick on a seasonally flooded floodplain, so it is a rare wild plant rather than a common garden subject.
Ptilotus pyramidatus, commonly known as pyramid mulla mulla, is a species of flowering plant of the family Amaranthaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a perennial herb with a single stem, spoon-shaped leaves at the base of the plant, lance-shaped to spoon-shaped stem leaves and loosely cylindrical spikes of white and pink flowers.
Ptilotus pyramidatus is only known from one small population near Kenwick in a seasonally inundated floodplain at an elevation of about 6.5 m (21 ft) above sea level, in an area estimated to be less than 0.2 ha (0.49 acres).
