Eryngium pinnatifidum (Blue Devils) is a plant species in the family Apiales which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[1] [2] It grows up to 50 cm in height and produces blue or white flowers between August and November (late winter to late spring) in its native range.
The species was first formally described by botanist Alexander von Bunge, his decription published in 1845 in Plantae Preissianae.[2]
