Lissanthe synandra is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a robust, dense, spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in). The species was first formally described in 2005 by Darren Crayn and Michael Clyde Hislop in Australian Systematic Botany. [2]
The specific epithet (synandra) means "together with males", referring to the united stamens. [3]
This species grows in sand over limestone on ridges, sand dunes and valleys in the Esperance Plains bioregion of Western Australia and is listed as " Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, [4] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations where it is potentially at risk.
