Verticordia huegelii var. stylosa, commonly known as variegated featherflower, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a single-stemmed shrub with its growth form depending on its surroundings. It is similar to other varieties of the species but differs in its flower colour and the form of the style and staminodes.
Although not often cultivated, this variety is described as "an attractive, bushy shrub". It is usually propagated from cuttings although these are sometimes difficult to grow on. It appears to be frost hardy and tolerates the removal of a few stems for floral arrangements.
This variety of V. huegelii grows in sandy clay-loam, often with lateritic gravel in areas that are wet in winter and usually with other species of verticordia. It is found in scattered locations in areas between Dandaragan, Wongan Hills and Kalgan in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.
