Seringia velutina, the velvet firebush, is a shrub in the Malvaceae family native to Western Australia. [1]
This plant was first described in 1846 as Keraudrenia velutina by Joachim Steetz [2] [3] but was moved to the genus Seringia by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1860. [2] [4] In 2015, Carolyn Wilkins and Barbara Whitlock sank the genus Keraudrenia into Seringia , and the accepted name is now Seringia velutina. [5]

The leaves are simple, often with irregularly-toothed edges, the flowers bisexual with five sepals, five petals and five stamens and the fruit a capsule with five valves. The genus underwent a revision in 2011 and some species were separated from Commersonia, others were added from Rulingia.
