Phlebocarya ciliata is a plant in the Haemodoraceae family, native to Western Australia.
It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.
Description Phlebocarya ciliata has flat leaves with leaf blades that are 25-65 cm by 1.6-3.7 mm and have fringed margins (though sometimes only towards the apex or the base). The flowerhead is about 1/3 to 2/3 as long as the leaves. The style is simple and there is one stigma.
It flowers from September to November and grows in heath and woodland in swampy to well-drained sandy soils.
Etymology The species epithet, ciliata, is a Latin adjective, ciliatus (from cilium, "eyelash") and thus describes the plant as having fine hairs extending from an edge, like an eyelash.
