Baeckea grandis is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an ascending to low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.1to and blooms between September and December producing pink and white flowers. Found on sand-plains and hills in the Mid West and northern Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia, it grows in sandy and lateritic soils.
The species was first formally described by the botanist Ernst Georg Pritzel in 1904 in Engler's journal Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie in an article by Pritzel and Ludwig Diels entitled Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae occidentalis.[1] [2] The specific epithet (grandis) means "great, large or tall".[3]
