Sclerolaena hostilis is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae,[1] native to Western Australia.[2][1][3] It was first described in 1904 by Ludwig Diels as Bassia hostilis,[4][5] but was transferred to the genus, Sclerolaena in 1921 by Karel Domin.[4][6]
(Australian authorities still place the genus Sclerolaena in the Chenopodiaceae family.)[4]
It is found in north-western Western Australia between Roebourne and Nullagine,[2] along creeks and stony plains.[2]
