Taxandria inundata is a shrub species that is endemic to an area along the south western coast of Western Australia.[1]
The shrub can grow to a height of approximately 2 metres (7 ft). It blooms from January to June producing white flowers. Found in water-logged low-lying areas, swamps and lake margins in the South West region of Western Australia where it grows in peaty sandy or clay soils.[1]
It was first formally described by the botanists, John Wheeler and Neville Marchant in 2007, as part of the work A revision of the Western Australian genus Agonis (Myrtaceae) and two new segregate genera Taxandria and Paragonis in the journal Nuytsia.[2]
