Lawrencia densiflora is a species of plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia[1][4]
L. densiflora is a perennial shrub/herb, growing to a height from 0.07 to 0.6 m.[1] The stems are hairy.[1] The leaves are irregularly lobed, 10 to 40 mm long and 5 to 20 mm wide, with stellate hairs.[1] The flowers have both a calyx and a corolla, and are yellow to cream and seen between July and October.[1]
It grows on limestone and sandy or clayey soils, and is found in dry watercourses, claypans, salty depressions and limestone ridges.[1]
It is found in Beard's Eremaean Province and in the IBRA regions of Carnarvon, Gascoyne, Little Sandy Desert, Murchison, Pilbara and Yalgoo.[1]
L. densiflora was first described as Plagianthus densiflorus by Baker in 1892,[5][6] and in 1967, was redescribed by Melville who assigned it to the genus, Lawrencia, with the plant thereby becoming Lawrencia densiflora.[7][2]
