Thryptomene calycina
Also called Grampians Heath Myrtle
Thryptomene calycina, commonly known as Grampians thryptomene, is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Victoria in Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with oblong, elliptic or egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end toward the base, and white flowers with five stamens.
Thryptomene calycina is propagated from cuttings and is sometimes available in commercial nurseries. It requires light soil and full sun or part shade.
Grampians thryptomene mostly grows in sandy soil and is found in heath and heathy woodland in the Grampians, although it is naturalised in a suburb of Melbourne and there is an old record from South Australia.
