Verticordia huegelii var. tridens, 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 slender, open, sometimes straggly shrub with bright yellow flowers which age to red and then brown and differently-shaped staminodes from the other varieties of the species.
This variety has rarely been cultivated and its requirements are not well understood. It is easily propagated from cuttings but these have proven difficult to establish in the garden.
This variety of V. huegelii grows in lateritic or granitic sand or loam, often in areas that are wet in winter and often with other species of verticordia in heath, shrubland or woodland. It is found in scattered, small populations from near Wongan Hills to the Porongurup National Park in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.
