Wikipedia Abstract

Kunzea pulcella (Granite Kunzea) is a shrub in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, where it occurs on granite outcrops and slopes. It grows to between 0.6 metres (2 ft 0 in) and 3 metres (9.8 ft) in height. It is one of two Kunzea species that produces red flowers (the other being Kunzea baxteri) although white and cream coloured forms are also known. The flowers are produced between June and November in its native range. The species was first formally described by Alex George in 1966 in The Western Australian Naturalist.
