Guichenotia ledifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a densely-branched shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1.5 m (1 ft 4 in – 4 ft 11 in) and has leaves 25–30 mm (0.98–1.18 in) long. Its flowers are 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in), blue-purple or pink and appear from July to October in the species' native range. This species can be used as a feature plant or as a low screen, barrier or informal hedge in native landscapes. It attracts insects and birds.

  • Guichenotia ledifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a densely-branched shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1.5 m (1 ft 4 in – 4 ft 11 in) and has leaves 25–30 mm (0.98–1.18 in) long. Its flowers are 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in), blue-purple or pink and appear from July to October in the species' native range. The species was formally described in 1821 by Swiss-French botanist Jaques Étienne Gay in the journal Mémoires du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. The specific epithet (ledifolia) means Ledum-leaved" or "broomlike". Guichenotia ledifolia grows in kwongan and woodland on coastal limestone, sandplains and granite rocks in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Hampton, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Yalgoo bioregion bioregions of south-western Western Australia, and is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions. This species can be used as a feature plant or as a low screen, barrier or informal hedge in native landscapes. It attracts insects and birds. In a 2015 study, researchers suggest that the plant is the favourite food of the quokka, an endemic marsupial in southwestern Australia. (en)
