Identification
The main flower colour is other. Found in clay loam and sandy clay, adjacent to samphire flats and breakaways between Norseman and Hyden. Notes: A rare species named by Bob Chinnock in 2007 from specimens he collected east of Lake Cronin. It is currently known from just two disjunct locations, in both areas appearing following fire or soil disturbance. Interestingly, in one area the flowers are predominantly cream while in the other they are predominantly mauve.
