An Australian flowering plant with soft, woolly leaves and clusters of delicate white or pink flowers.
English compound of 'flannel' plus 'flower,' named for the texture of its distinctive soft, fuzzy foliage.
The flannelflower is Australia's native way of creating the same descriptive plant names as California—when plants had uniquely fuzzy leaves, people just called them what they felt like.
