Crowea saligna, also known as willow-leaved crowea, is a small shrub native to eastern New South Wales in Australia. It belongs to the rue family and is known for its attractive pink star-shaped flowers. The plant grows up to 1-1.5 meters in height and has dark green, shiny leaves with oil glands and a distinct mid-vein. It was first described in 1800 and its specific epithet, saligna, means "of willow" in Latin. Willow-leaved crowea is found in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, growing in sheltered areas on sandstone. It is a popular plant in horticulture due to its beautiful flowers and ability to thrive in well-drained, semi-shaded areas. It is also tolerant of dry periods once established.
