About

Synaphea spinulosa is a species of small shrub in the flowering plant family Proteaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia. Along with Acacia truncata, it was the first Australian endemic to be scientifically described and named. The specimen on which this description is based is the oldest extant specimen of an Australian plant and is very likely among the first Australian plant specimens ever collected.

Where it grows

Synaphea spinulosa is widespread between Kalbarri and Bunbury and inland through the central and southern wheatbelt.
