Calytrix eneabbensis is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a glabrous shrub with lance-shaped leaves and purple and yellowish flowers with 40 to 60 stamens in several rows.

Description

Calytrix eneabbensis is a glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 50 cm (20 in) and has lance-shaped leaves that are 3.5–10.5 mm (0.14–0.41 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) wide on a petiole 0.4–1.5 mm (0.016–0.059 in) long. The flowers are borne in clusters of a few to many on a peduncle 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long with lobes 4.5–6.0 mm (0.18–0.24 in) long. The floral tube is 19–13 mm (0.75–0.51 in) long, has 10 ribs. The sepals are joined at the base, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 1.5–2.1 mm (0.059–0.083 in) long. The petals are purple with a yellowish base, lance-shaped, 7.0–9.5 mm (0.28–0.37 in) long and 3.0–3.75 mm (0.118–0.148 in) wide. There are 40 to 60 yellow stamens 1.25–6.0 mm (0.049–0.236 in) long in several rows. Flowering occurs from July to October.^[2]^[3]
