Calothamnus huegelii is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub growing to a height of about 2 metres (6.6 ft) with red flowers in autumn or September.[1] (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca caroli-huegelii.)[2]
Calothamnus huegelii was first formally described by Johannes Schauer in 1843 in Dissertatio phytographica de Regelia, Beaufortia et Calothamno.[3] The specific epithet (huegelii) honours Charles von Hügel.[2]
Calothamnus huegelii occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee biogeographic regions[1] growing in sand, and gravelly clay over laterite on sandplains.[4]
Calothamnus huegelii is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife.[1]
