Westringia dampieri, commonly known as shore westringia,[1] is a shrub that is endemic to Western Australia.[2] Plants are usually between 0.2 and 1.5 metres high. White flowers appear between June and January in the species native range.[1]
The species was formally described in 1810 by Scottish botanist Robert Brown based on specimens collected at King George Sound. The name has been misapplied to Westringia eremicola and Westringia senifolia.[1]
