Calytrix angulata, commonly known as yellow starflower, is a species of plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae that is endemic to Western Australia.[1]
The shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1 metre (1 to 3 ft). It blooms between August and January producing cream-yellow star-shaped flowers[1]
Commonly found on plains and slopes in the Swan Coastal Plain extending into the South West and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia where it grows in sandy soils.[1]
The species was first described by the botanist John Lindley in 1839 in the work A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony. Johannes Conrad Schauer described the plant in 1843 as Calycothrix angulata in Monographia Myrtacearum Xerocarpicarum.[2]
