Darwinia pauciflora is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia.[1][2]
The shrub has an open and bushy habit and typically grows to height of 0.3 to 1.5 metres (1.0 to 4.9 ft). It blooms between March and October producing white-cream or white-pink flowers. The specific epithet pauciflora, refers to the Latin term for 'few flowered'.[3][4] Often found on hillsides or sandplains in the Mid West region of Western Australia in an area on the coast around Geraldton where it grows in sandy soils.[1]
