Pimelea strigosa is a shrub that typically grows to a height of and has hairy young stems and leaves. The leaves are arranged alternately along the stems, narrowly elliptic to elliptic, long and wide on a short petiole. The flowers are arranged on the ends of branches in compact groups of 7 to 23, bisexual or female, yellow, sometimes with a red tinge. The floral tube is long, the sepals long. Flowering occurs in most months with a peak from September to May and the fruit is about long.[1] [2] [3]
Pimelea strigosa was first formally described in 1913 by Michel Gandoger in the journal Bulletin de la Société Botanique de France, from specimens collected near the Warrumbungles.[4] [5] The specific epithet (strigosa) means "strigose".[6]
This pimelea grows in woodland and in pastures, often near watercourses and sometimes in rocky places, between Warwick in Queensland and the Warrumbungles and Murrurundi in New South Wales.
