"Gossypium australe" is an endemic woody shrub, related to cotton, found in north western Australia. Preferring sandy soils near watercourses, it grows to about two or three feet tall. The leaves are grey and hairy, oval to elliptic, 3 inches long and soft to the touch. Flowers are around 1 - 2 inches long and present a pale pink mauve 'rose' with a deeper shade at the centre. Fruit are hairy, spherical and contain a bristly seed one sixth of an inch long.cite book |last=Chippendale |first=Thelma M |authorlink= |coauthors=Chippendale, George |others= |title=Wildflowers of Central Australia |origdate= |origyear=1968 |origmonth= |edition=Axiom books, Hong Kong |series= |date= |year=1980 |month= |publisher=The Jacaranda Press |location=West Perth |language= |isbn=0 7016 0279 1 |pages=56-57 |chapter= |quote="Gossypium", from the arabic for softness; "australe", Australian ,]
