About Westringia dampieri R.Br.
Westringia dampieri is a small shrub with stems that are roughly circular in cross-section. Its leaves are simple, arranged in whorls, between 8 and 27 millimetres (0.31 to 1.06 inches) long and 1.5 to 2.5 millimetres (0.059 to 0.098 inches) wide, and covered in simple surface hairs. The corolla can be cream, white, purple or mauve, has markings in its throat, measures 12 to 15 millimetres (0.47 to 0.59 inches) long, bears simple hairs, and is borne on a 0.5 to 1.5 millimetre (0.020 to 0.059 inch) long pedicel. The calyx is moderately thick, has five 1.2 to 2.2 millimetre (0.047 to 0.087 inch) long lobes, and is covered in simple hairs. Flowering occurs in late summer, winter, and from early to mid spring. This species, commonly called shore westringia, grows mostly on sandy soils, in coastal locations or nearby inland areas along the west and south coasts of Western Australia.
