Calytrix gypsophila, commonly known as the gypsum fringle-myrtle,[1] is a species of plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae that is endemic to Western Australia.
The shrub typically grows to a height of 2m (07feet). It usually blooms between February and September producing white flowers. Later it will produce a long cylindrical fruit approximately 15mm long and 23NaN3 wide, with fan-shaped wings and awns at one end. Inside a small ovoid seed sits in the long section of the fruit.[1]
Found on plains, around salt lakes and on clay pans often with samphires in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia and into central and western South Australia where it grows on gypseous sand or loam soils.[1]
The species was first formally described by the botanist Lyndley Craven in 1987 in the article A taxonomic revision of Calytrix Labill. (Myrtaceae) in the journal Brunonia.[2]
