Description
Andersonia caerulea is an erect, or spreading to low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. Taller, erect plants have flowers arranged in a compact spike, but low-lying plants have flowers arranged otherwise. The leaves are variable in shape and size, egg-shaped to lance-shaped or linear, sometimes twisted or wavy, sometimes with a pointed tip, variably hairy or glabrous. There are 15 to 25 leaves or bracteoles at the base of the flower, the sepals Шаблон:Cvt long and longer than the bracteoles. The sepals are lance-shaped, pink, lilac, or pale blue and the petals are shorter than the sepals, usually pale blue, and densely bearded inside the petal tube.[2][1]

Andersonia caerulea was first formally described by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae from specimens he collected at King George Sound in 1801.[2][3][4] The specific epithet (caerulea) means "deep sky-blue".[5]
Distribution and habitat
Foxtails grows in sandy soil and is widespread in the south-west of Western Australia, occurring in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions.[1]
