Guichenotia intermedia is a small, upright, spreading shrub to high, wide and new growth covered in white star-shaped hairs. The leaves are linear shaped, long, wide, upper and lower surfaces covered densely with white star-shaped hairs, margins rolled under and rounded at the apex. The flowers are borne in clusters of two or three, in diameter on a peduncle long and the petals are dark red up to long. The calyx are mauve-pink, lobes long, joined halfway, inner surface has star-shaped hairs, outer surface has white star-shaped hairs and the pedicel long. The green bracts are at the base of each pedicel, oval-shaped, long and wide. Flowering occurs in May or July to August and the fruit is woody, thin and in diameter.[1] [2]
Guichenotia intermedia was first formally described in 2003 by Carolyn F. Wilkins and the description was published in Australian Systematic Botany.[3] The specific epithet (intermedia) means "coming between".[4]
This species of guichenotia is found on scrublands, roadsides, sandy flats and coastal heath from Kalbarri and north to Shark Bay.[1] [2]
