Verticordia staminosa, the Wongan verticordia, is a rare shrub endemic to south-west Western Australia, known from only about 1200 plants. It grows in soil crevices on exposed granite outcrops and is grown for its feathery yellow flowers, propagated from cuttings.
Verticordia staminosa is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub comprising two subspecies, one of which has two varieties. All three types have a limited distribution and have been classified as "Threatened". It is distinguished from other species of verticordia by its prominent, long stamens which extend well beyond its feathery yellow sepals and petals.
Verticordia staminosa can be readily propagated from cuttings, but these are often slow-growing in the first year.
Verticordia staminosa grows in soil in crevices on exposed granite outcrops. Subspecies staminosa is only known from a single locality in the Wongan Hills, variety cylindracea between Newdegate and Pingaring and variety erecta in a small area north-west of Newdegate.
