Calothamnus blepharospermus

Calothamnus blepharospermus is a shrub growing to a height of 2–3 metres (7–10 ft) with leaves 38–76 millimetres (1.5–3.0 in) in length and 5–7 millimetres (0.2–0.3 in) wide, very narrow egg-shaped with the narrow end towards the base, the other end tapering to a sharp point. The flowers are red with the stamens arranged in five bundles, each 30–40 millimetres (1–2 in) long, the outer surface of the petals, the flower stalk and the hypanthium all densely hairy. Flowering occurs in January to February or in July and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules about 25 millimetres (1 in) long.
