Calectasia narragera   A Tinsel Lily Endemic

Calectasia cyanea Calectasia cyanea close

The pathways through this natural bushland have a few plaques which tell you the name of the flowers. Right next to this one it had a photo with the name Calectasia cyanea and naturally I assumed that this the name of the plant I had photographed.

It turns out that the true Calectasia cyanea is very rare and critically endangered being restricted to only about 50 plants in the Albany area and that this one is often confused with it.

Calectasia narragera is yet another Western Australian endemic plant
