Verticordia sect. Intricata is one of eleven sections in the subgenusVerticordia. It includes three species of plants in the genusVerticordia. Plants in this section are usually bushy shrubs, sometimes cauliflower-like, with greyish leaves and fluffy or woolly pink to red, sometimes white flowers. The sepals have intricately branched lobes and hairy appendages and the stamens and staminodes are joined in a ring structure.[1] When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991 he formally described this section, publishing the description in the journal Nuytsia.[2][3] The name Intricata is from the Latin word intricatus meaning "entangled" or "complicated"[4] referring to the intricately divided sepals.[1]
