Darwinia macrostegia, commonly known as Mondurup Bell, is a shrub which is endemic to a localised area near Albany in Western Australia. It usually grows to between 0.3 and 0.9 metres in height and produces red and white flowers between late autumn and late spring.[1] The species was first formally described by English botanist George Bentham in 1865 in Journal of the Linnean Society.[2] It occurs in the Stirling Range National Park in five separate populations.[3]
