Verticordia sect. Platandra
Verticordia" sect. "Platandra is one of eleven sections in the subgenus "Verticordia". It includes two species of plants in the genus "Verticordia". Plants in this section resemble "V. pritzelii" in section "Catocalypta" but differ in they do not have tufts of hair on their sepals. The anthers are flattened and the hairs on the style are forked. When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991 he formally described this section, publishing the description in the journal Nuytsia. When George published his review of the genus in 1991, there was only one species in the section, "V. gracilis  but in 2010 he described V. setacea" and included that species in section "Platandra". The name "Platandra" is derived from the Ancient Greek "platy-" meaning "flattened" and "-andros" meaning "male" referring to the flattened anthers. The type species for this section is "Verticordia gracilis" and the other species is "V. setacea".
