Calothamnus sanguineus (Silky-leaved Blood flower) is a shrub or tree species in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to the south of Western Australia, where it occurs on sandplains, limestone ridges, and granite outcrops.[2]
It usually grows to between 0.2 and 2 metres in height and produces clusters of red or white flowers from March to November in its native range.[2]
The species was first formally described by French naturalist Jacques Labillardière in 1806 in Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.[1]
