Diplolaena angustifolia, commonly known as Yanchep rose, is a shrub which is endemic to the area around Perth in Western Australia.
The shrub has an erect to compact to spreading habit and typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1.5 m (1 ft 0 in to 4 ft 11 in). It has linear to narrowly oblong shaped leaves with a recurved to revolute margin. [1] The Yanchep Rose has many small flowers with long bright stamens that are crowded in to heads surrounded by three or four series of petal-like bracts, so that the whole resembles a many-stamened single flower. [2] Diplolaena angustifolia has pendant heads up to 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in) across, surrounded by a series of bracts. It features stamens of up to 3 cm (1.2 in) long which range in colour from a pale orange to crimson. [2] It is a winter-flowering shrub [3] that usually blooms between June and October. [1]
The species was first formally described by the botanist William Jackson Hooker in the work Botanical Magazine published in 1843. Synonyms include; Diplolaena salicifolia, Diplolaena salicifolia var. revoluta and Diplolaena salicifolia var. salicifolia. [4]
