Verticordia halophila is an erect and bushy shrub found in Southwest Australia. It is commonly referred to by the name Salt-loving Featherflower, or Salt-loving Verticordia, as the plant is found in saline soil types (halophyte).
Ranging in height from 0.3 - 0.75 m high, the habit is a low-growing bushy shrub. The plant presents pink flowers sometime between October to December. Verticordia halophila is found on sandy clay or loamy soils. The habitat of the species is saline plains, or near salt lakes. Populations are found in the north of the Avon Wheatbelt, and in a semi-arid region toward Coolgardie.
The first description of this species was published by Alex George in 1991.[1] the type selected for this species was collected near Coorow.[2] This description was published along with a revision of the genus Verticordia, and it is placed in an infrageneric taxonomy.[1] The species is included within section Verticordia sect. Verticordella, which is contained by Verticordia subg. Eperephes.
Verticordia halophila has been assessed as not threatened with extinction.
