Stackhousia viminea, common name slender Stackhousia, is a common small species of flowering plant endemic to Australia. It grows to 70 cm tall. The habitat is heathland, pastures, eucalyptus woodland and forest, usually in moist areas. It features attractive yellowish/red flowers. The specific epithet viminea refers to the slender stems. The genus is named after the botanist and artist, John Stackhouse.[1]
The species was first collected at Sydney by John White, and described a few years later by the prolific English botanist James Smith.
