Rinzia

Rinzia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae. They are endemic to Western Australia. Rinzia species are typically shrubs with small, often scale-like leaves and white, pink, or red flowers. The flowers are often profuse and create a showy display.

The genus was first formally described in 1844 by Nikolai Turczaninow. The name "Rinzia" honors Natalia Rinzia, a Russian botanist.

Rinzia are found in a variety of habitats throughout Western Australia, including sandy heaths, woodlands, and granite outcrops. Some species are relatively widespread, while others are restricted to specific geographic areas.

The conservation status of Rinzia species varies, with some considered common and secure, while others are listed as threatened or endangered due to habitat loss or other factors.

Several species of Rinzia are cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens and landscapes, valued for their attractive flowers and drought tolerance.
