Chamelaucium is a genus from southwestern Western Australia. The name for the genus is thought to come from the Greek words 'chamai' meaning "dwarf" and 'leucos' meaning "white", though the reasoning for this is unknown. Another possibility suggested is that the name is derived from the Latin word 'camelaucum' which was the name used for the headgear of medieval Popes. One would have to have a crystal ball to ask the French botanist René Louiche Desfontaines what he meant when he first ascribed the name in 1819.

Chamelaucium 'Stirling Range' was named for the beautiful Stirling Range mountains of Western Australia. Our plants were first obtained in 2005 from Obra Verde Growers in north San Diego County and, though we thought it a very nice plant, it was similar to the cultivar 'My Sweet Sixteen' which we preferred, and we only continued to grow and sell 'Stirling Range' until 2009. 

The information displayed on this page about Chamelaucium 'Stirling Range' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
